| 454704963 | J.J. Thomson is important for...? | e/m = -1.76 x 10^8C/g Cathode-ray tubes: Ray produced at negative electrode, it was repelled by negative pole of electric fieled -> JJ thought ray was stream of negatively charged particles (now called electrons).

| 454704966 | If atoms are composed of the same components, why do different atoms have different chemical properties? | Answer lies in the number and arrangement of electrons. More electrons allows for more "intermingling" for atoms to combine to form molecules. | 53 | |
