A student is trying to construct an argument to support the following claim “particles in the atom are negatively charged”. What experiment and reasoning below would best assist the student with making their argument. Experiment: Cathode ray tube Gold foil Reasoning: It showed a bend in the beam of particles could occur when emitted. It showed that electrons were emitted from the atom regardless of the metal used. It showed that there was something small and positively charged in the middle of the atom that deflected a small number of particles that were passing through the atom. It showed that all atoms emit the same beam of particles regardless of the source of alpha particles.
