Transcript of The three subatomic particles
Electron

Proton
In 1838, Michael Faraday passed current through the glass tube filled with rarefied air. Conducting the experiment he noticed a strange light arc with its beginning at the anode (the positive electrode) and its end almost at the cathode (the negative electrode). The only place where there was no luminescence was just in front of the cathode. The place is called "cathode dark space", "Faraday dark space", or "Crookes dark space". That was the beginning of the long and "turbulent" time of researches on that luminescence. And the luminescence is called "cathode rays".
MICHAEL FARADAY
In this experiment, Faraday showed that the mass of elements was proportional to the quantity of electricity that passed through them.
2. George J. Stoney- he was a scientist who first suggested the term “ Electron” to refer to a negatively charged particle.
3. Joseph John Thomson-was credited for his discovery of the first subatomic particle through his work with the discharge tube.
4. Robert A. Millikan- independently measured the electrons charge through his OIL-DROP Experiment. He successfully attempted to detect and measure the effect of an individual subatomic particle.
Using an atomizer, Millikan sprayed tiny droplets of oil which passed between two charged plates. Given a negative charge(-) by the electrons released from gas particles by x-rays, the oil particles were attracted toward the positive plate. He observed the speed of the droplets as they moved toward the positive plates. The smallest possible charge on a droplet was taken as the charge of an individual atom.
The quantity is considered to be the basic unit charge and is given a value of one minus (1-)
When the electron was discovered , the scientists searched for the positively charged particles.
1.Eugene Goldstein-
Goldstein observed rays passing through the hole of a cathode in the cathode tube. These rays are made up of positive particles. Their characteristics depend on the gas inside the cathode tube.The lightest particle was obtained when Hydrogen gas was used.
1. Sir James Chadwick- discovered the neutron in 1932. He found out that the particle was electrically neutral an and its mass was
approximately the same as that of the
proton.

Do the three isotopes have the same chemical properties?
Yes
It is difficult and not necessary
to separate the isotopes in most
of the reactions. Average
relative mass of silicon is used to
denote the mass of a silicon
atom.
