Question

Describe the formation of protons using hydro­gen gas.

Answer 1

Protons:

Protons are positively charged sub-atomic particles present in the nucleus of an atom.

Explanation:

1. Goldstein explained the formation of protons using hydro­gen gas.
2. When a high voltage is applied to hydrogen gas, the electrical energy removes the electrons from the hydrogen atoms.
3. After removing negatively charged electrons from the hydrogen atom, a positively charged sub-atomic particle having a single proton is formed.
