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.
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.
Cathode rays are electrons.
cathode rays can emit electrons anode can collect them
There is no such thing as anode rays. The cathode rays (aka electron beam) just travels from cathode to anode.
Cathode rays were discovered by JJ Thomson and carry a negative charge Anode rays were discovered by Goldstein and carry a positive charge.
x-rays are emitted
