Answer:

When the electrons hit the atoms in the chamber, they cause some of the electrons in the atoms to be stripped or knocked away. ... When one or more electrons is knocked off of an atom, it becomes positively charged. It is now an positive ion. A negative ion can be made by adding an electron to an atom.
