Which of the following observations indicates that atoms of all elements contain small, negatively charged particles? Alpha particles are repelled by cathode rays of elements. Cathode rays are deflected towards a positively charged rod. A particular frequency of light is produced by a gas in an excited state. Certain areas of the atom called orbitals contain all the charged particles.
