    Through experiments like J.J. Thomson’s cathode ray tube, which revealed electrons’ existence. Later, Ernest Rutherford’s gold foil experiment demonstrated atoms’ mostly empty space, with a dense nucleus. These findings led to the understanding of atoms as containing charged particles: electrons, and a positively charged nucleus.

  4. Experiments with static electricity and conductivity were significant because they revealed that substances could either conduct or insulate against electricity. This distinction hinted at the presence of charged particles within substances, contributing to the understanding of atomic structure andRead more

    Experiments with static electricity and conductivity were significant because they revealed that substances could either conduct or insulate against electricity. This distinction hinted at the presence of charged particles within substances, contributing to the understanding of atomic structure and the behavior of electrons.
