==Positive units==
In his 1910 paper, Thomson presented an equation that modeled beta scattering in the scenario where the positive charge exists in discrete units.
<math display="block">\bar{\theta}_2 = \frac{16}{5} \cdot \frac{k q_e q_e}{m v^2} \cdot \frac{1}{R} \cdot \sqrt{\frac{3N}{2}} \sqrt{1 - \left (1 - \frac{\pi}{8} \right ) \sqrt{\sigma}}</math>
Heilbron doesn't offer a guess as to how Thomson came up with this equation. Thomson doesn't call these units particles and I assume they're just as permeable as the positive sphere. If the positive charge units were particles then a direct collision would affect an alpha particle much differently. Is it correct of me to say that Thomson came close to deducing the existence of the proton? Rutherford deduced the existence of protons based on charge numbers of atoms. Interactions between particles is not just a question of electric fields because neutrons can split nucleui. [[User:Kurzon|Kurzon]] ([[User talk:Kurzon|talk]]) 20:11, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
