Johanna · Answer 1

All options are correct

Explanation:

Thompson's cathode ray experiment lead to the postulation of the Thompson model of an atom, where negatively charged particles (electrons) were embedded in a positively charged cloud of protons. This model concluded that all atoms contain negatively charged particles and also positively charged particles which makes the atom electrically neutral. It also validated that these cathode rays have mass.
