J.J. Thomson's cathode-ray tube experiment
demonstrated that:
1. cathode rays are streams of negatively charged ions.
2. all the mass of an atom is essentially in the nucleus.
3. the \(\frac{e}{m}\) of electrons is much greater
than the \(\frac{e}{m}\) of protons.
4. the \(\frac{e}{m}\) ratio of the cathode ray particles changes when a different gas is
placed in the discharge tube.
