- Have one unit of negative charge
- Loss/gain can cause change in atomic number
Alpha particles
- Have two units of positive charge

- Loss/gain can cause change in atomic number
Rutherford's experiment
- Prior to his experiment, atoms were thought to consist of a cloud of positive charge with electrons embedded throughout
- He discovered that some alpha particles were scattered at large angles
- His conclusion: most of the mass and all of the positive charge had to be concentrated in a tiny fraction of the volume of an atom. The rest of the atom had to be empty space.

Milikan's experinent
- Wanted to measure the charge on an electron
- Tiny oil droplets were sprayed into a chamber and then subjected to x-rays, causing them to take on a negative charge. The drops could be suspended in air if the force of gravity was balanced against an electric field.
- Through analysis, the forces of on the droplet could be calculated. Milikan determined the electron charge, which later allowed for the calculation of the mass of an electron.
