Solution

  • The production of cathode rays revealed that all atoms contain electrons, which are negatively charged particles.
  • Because an atom is electrically neutral, it must contain some positively charged particles to counteract the electrons' negative charge.
  • Experiments have discovered that all atoms contain positively charged particles known as protons.
  • E. Goldstein demonstrated the existence of protons in atoms.
  • The relative proton's charge is equal to +1.
  • The absolute mass of the proton is 1.6×1024g.
  • A subatomic particle having a unit positive charge and a mass of 1.66×10-24g is called Protons.
