Discovery of electron #viral #pw #chemistry #electron #shorts
The electron was discovered by J.J. Thomson in 1897. Thomson conducted experiments with cathode rays and found that these rays were deflected by electric and magnetic fields, suggesting that they were made of negatively charged particles. This led to the identification of the electron as a fundamental subatomic particle with a negative charge. His work provided key insights into the structure of the atom and was crucial in the development of atomic theory.
