    The document discusses the composition of atoms. Atoms are made up of a positively charged nucleus containing protons and neutrons at the center, surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud. Cathode rays are composed of negatively charged electrons, which behave the same way regardless of the element they come from. Atoms have no overall charge because the positive charges of protons in the nucleus are balanced by the negative charges of electrons in the outer cloud.

    The particles that compose cathode rays are negatively charged.

    The electrons produced with neon gas and chlorine gas would behave the same way because

    electrons do not differ from element to element.

    Neutral

    Atoms are made up of protons and nuetrons, which includes a positively charged nucleus. It is also

    surrounded by a negatively charged electron electron cloud. Positive and negative charges come

    together to form a net neutral charge.
