Electron was discovered by J.J. Thomson in 1897. Thomson was a British physicist and Nobel Prize winner who performed experiments with cathode rays and discovered the electron, a negatively charged subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. This discovery was a major step in the development of our understanding of atomic structure and played a crucial role in the development of modern physics and chemistry.
