Which of the following best describes how Thomson
concluded that electrons are present in all atoms.
a
The charge-to-mass ratio of electrons is always the
same constant, no matter which substances are
used in the cathode ray tube.
b The cathode ray was able to turn a wheel.
The cathode ray always bent toward a negatively
charged plate.
d
The charge-to-mass ratio is unique to each different
element.

Respuesta :

Answer: A

Explanation:

The charge-to-mass ratio of electrons is always the same constant, no matter which substances are used in the cathode ray tube.

Explanation:

  • Thomson in his model of atom discussed that the atom consists of a negative charge particle termed electron randomly distributed in the positively charged sphere to balance the negative charge.
  • His model of the atom was also known as the Plum pudding model of the atom. In which electrons are embedded in positive soup.
  • He discovered electrons by conducting an experiment with cathode rays in which cathode rays emerging from the cathode were observed to be deflected towards the positively charged plate.
  • He also conducted the same experiment with different metals (for anode and cathode) and gases and found out that the charge to mass ratio of the electron was regardless of the metals or gases used in the experiment.
  • With this, he landed on the conclusion that these particles of cathode rays are the universal component of matter.

So, from this, we can conclude that the charge-to-mass ratio of electrons is always the same constant, no matter which substances are used in the cathode ray tube describes Thomson's conclusion that electrons are present in all atoms.
