Scientists observed that atoms exhibited both positive and negative charges, leading them to infer the presence of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons within atoms.
Scientists believed atoms were composed of protons and electrons due to experimental evidence like the cathode ray tube and the gold foil experiment, which showed electrons’ existence and protons’ presence in the nucleus, respectively, supporting the model proposed by Ernest Rutherford.
