Electrons
• Electron is the lightest particle in an atom & it
is surrounded by nucleus.
1

• Electrons have negative charge and revolves in

the orbits also known as “Shells”.
2

• Same type of atoms can share electrons to

3 balance.
 Discovery of Electrons:
• At the end of 19th century ,“Electron”
was discovered by J.J. Thomson.
• J.J. Thomson's experiments with
cathode ray tubes showed that all atoms
contain tiny negatively charged particles
or electrons.
 Cathode Rays:
• Cathode rays are the beam of electrons travelling from the negatively-
charged cathode to the positively charged anode at the other end of
the vacuum tube.
Properties of Cathode Rays:
• They travel in straight line from cathode towards anode.

• They produce sharp shadow of an opaque object placed in their path.

• They have negative charge and bend towards positive plate in the electric
and magnetic field.

• These rays when strike glass and other material cause material to glow.
