its negatively charged particles of matter,Thomson knew that opposites attract but these the positive charged anode,so he reasoned that the paticles must be negatively charged! : )! Wooooo! Go J.J Thomson

All metals contain electrons in the form of free electrons. If we apply a suitable electric potential to a metal, these electrons can be ejected from the surface of the metal.

Cathode rays came from the negatively charged electrode called cathode, inside a cathode ray discharge tube, the experiment was done by J.J. Thomson.

The stream of negatively charged particles called electrons that went from the metallic cathode to anode(positively charged) plate was called the cathode rays.

The electrons are emitted from the cathode due to the effect of strong electrical potential.

experiments with cathode rays lead to the discovery of the Electron.

Cathode rays carry a negative charge while anode rays carry a positive charge. Cathode rays originate from cathode while anode rays do not originate from anode.

Cathode rays originate from cathode. Cathode rays travel in a straight line. Cathode rays carry a negative charge. Anode rays do not originate from anode. Anode rays are positively charged.
