Breaking the code
According to this philosopher,
all things are composed of
atomos, which may be too
small to be seen by our naked
eye. He also uses mortar and
pestle to prove that atom is
subdivided.

A subatomic particle is a particles smaller than
the atom in which scientists used experimental
observations to establish its existence.

A cathode ray tube is a glass tubing with two
electrodes, namely, the anode (-) and the cathode
(+), at the end. The glass is then filled with a gas
sample that will discharge electrons in the
presence of electrical energy.
The function of the cathode ray tube
is to convert an electrical signal into
a visual display. Cathode rays or
streams of electron particles are A c a t h o d e R a y Tu b e
quite easy to produce, electrons orbit
every atom and move from atom to
atom as an electric current.
Another significant event happened in
1909 when ERNEST RUTHERFORD
discovered the nucleus and the proton
through his now-famous gold foil
experiment.
PROTON
He used alpha particles (positively charged rays)
emitted from a radioactive atom to bombard an
ultrathin gold foil and detect the scattered particles
using a zinc sulfide screen.
They bombarded very thin
sheets of gold foil with fast
moving alpha particles.
Alpha particles, a type of Gold foil experiment
natural radioactive particle, are
positively charge particles with
a mass about 4 times that of a
hydrogen atom.
In 1932, JAMES CHADWICK worked on the
experiment where beryllium was bombarded
with alpha particles that emitted a stream of
radiation, which he thought to be a gamma
radiation.
NEUTRON
Chadwick’s discovery of the neutron changed the
view of the atom as believed by many scientists.
They realized that the neutron can be used to
examine nuclei.
The neutral charge does not
entirely mean that there is no
charge. It refers to a region of C h a d w i c k ’s e x p e r i m e n t a l s e t u p
positive and negative charges in
equal amounts.
