How is the flow of current in a cathode ray experiment explained knowing that gases are bad conductors of electricity?
The gas in the discharge tube experiment (at low pressure and high voltage) gets decomposed. Negatively charged particles are produced which travel from cathode to anode, thus facilitating the flow of current. Under other conditions, e.g., 1-atmosphere pressure, no dissociation of gas occurs and no current flows.
What is the maximum number of electrons which can be accommodated in the innermost shell of an atom?
How do you establish that matter is electrical in nature?
