Here’s the lecture from Thursday on how scientists began to determine the structure of the atom and the existence of subatomic particles – well, the electron anyway. FYI – as we go on, make sure you know the name of the scientists, the name of their experiments, be able to draw a diagram of their experiment, and describe how they interpreted the experimental results that led to their discoveries. Wow, that’s a mouthful!

Click here for the video on the Cathode Ray Tube Experiment that Thompson did, and also for a little history on The Discovery of the Electron. Do you think there could be anything smaller? Than an electron, I mean??
