Hello. In this problem, we are asked to determine whether the following statement is true or false. We're told that according to J J. Thomson's cathode ray tube experiments, a cathode ray consists of a stream of positive charged particles called protons. And JJ Thompson's cathode ray experiment. He had a stream of particles that originated at a Nikolay charged cathode that were directed towards a probably charged an ode. We found that this stream of particles then was attracted to a probably charged metal plate and repelled by a negatively charged metal plate. I was so, since opposite charges attract, he knew then that the stream of particles was negatively charged and charged particles. He termed electrons. So, as the statement is provided, it is false. And this corresponds then to answer B. Thanks for watching Hope this help.
