Proton was discovered by:
Proton was discovered by:
The correct option is B Goldstein
Explanation for the correct option:
Option B: Goldstein:
- Goldstein explained the existence of protons using hydrogen gas.
- When a high voltage is applied to hydrogen gas, the electrical energy removes the electrons from the hydrogen atoms.
- After the removal of negatively charged electron from the hydrogen atom, a positively charged particle called the proton is formed.
Thus, proton was discovered by Goldstein
Explanation for incorrect options:
Option A: Rutherford:
Rutherford gave model of the atom by performing an experiment with thin gold foil and positively charged alpha particles.
Option C: Chadwick:
Chadwick bombarded a thin sheet of Beryllium (Be) by alpha particles, electrically neutral particles having a mass slightly greater than that of protons i.e. neutrons were emitted. He discovered neutrons.
Option D: J.J Thompson:
J.J Thompson discovered electrons by performing experiments on electrical conduction of gases through partially evacuated tubes, known as cathode ray discharge tube. He discovered electrons.
Thus, Option (B) is the correct option.
