Question

The canal rays led to the discovery of which subatomic particle?

Answer 1

Protons:-

• Protons are the subatomic particles that are present in the atoms.
• The Canal rays experiment which was done by Eugen Goldstein led to the discovery of protons.
• Protons have a mass of $1.676\mathrm{x}{10}^{-27}\mathrm{kg}$ and are represented by the symbol p.
• They have a charge $+1.60\mathrm{x}{10}^{-19}\mathrm{coulomb}$ which is equal to the magnitude of the charge held by an electron but opposite in sign.
