Patterson · Answer 1

A.) Atoms contain electrons

Explanation:

J. J. Thomson conducted an experiment in which he took a gas at low pressure in a discharge tube and applied high voltage current. When he did so, he noticed that there are some particles emitting from cathode going towards the anode. Then he concluded that they are negatively charged particles and coined them electrons.

Hence, out of the options: - A.) Atoms contain electrons is correct.
