It was almost as if you fired a 15-inch Characterized with a dense positive center

• The rays were originally called CANAL • Responsible for the total + charge of the nucleus
RAYS • Equal to the total − charge of the electron
• The rays differed in MASS and CHARGE
depending on the gas inside the tube NUCLEAR CHARGE NO. of PROTONS
• 1840 times heavier than the electron ATOMIC NUMBER (Z) = number of p+
• The charge of this particle is equal BUT = number of e- in a
opposite in sign to that of the electron neutral atom
