Like charges repel each

Thomson concluded that the
stream of charged particles

These electrons had to come from the matter
(atoms) of the negative electrode.
Since the electrodes could be made from a
variety of metals, then all atoms must contain
electrons!
Rutherford directed a
narrow beam of alpha
particles (+ charges) at
a thin piece of gold foil.
Based on observations
from other experiments
involving alpha particles,
he predicted that the (+)
charges would go
through the foil
