Thomson added a positively charged plate on one side of the cathode ray and a negatively charged plate on the other side, he observed a large deflection towards the positive plate, and a small deflection towards the negative plate (see image below). He demonstrated that cathode rays could be deflected, or bent, by magnetic or electric fields, which indicated that cathode rays consist of charged particles. This new model is referred to as the Plum Pudding Model. In this MIT lecture, at 7:22, the professor says that when J.J. Thomson (18561940) proved that atoms were not the most basic form of matter. The New Model of the Atom- Thompson knew atoms were neutral, so there must be a balance of negative and positive particles. Thomson determined that charged particles much lighter than atoms, particles that we now call electrons made up cathode rays. Thomson proposed the plum pudding model of the atom, which had negatively-charged electrons embedded within a positively-charged 'soup. The electron is discovered, J J Thomson publishes his discovery of a subatomic particle common to all matter. Thomson's experiments with cathode ray tubes showed that all atoms contain tiny negatively charged subatomic particles or electrons. This was found to be constant regardless of the gas used in the tube and the metal of the cathode and was approximately 1000 times less than the value calculated for hydrogen ions in the electrolysis of liquids. Thomson was an English physicist who began experimenting with cathode ray. When investigating cathode rays using a highly evacuated discharge tube he was able to use the calculated velocity and deflection of the beam to calculate the ratio of electric charge to mass of the cathode ray. Implementing the cathode ray experiment was undertaken by J. Amber when rubbed builds up static charge. Millikan discovered that there is a fundamental. Another British electrochemist John Stoney called it the "electron" from the Greek term "Elecktra" which is the Greek word for amber. Thomson, was a British physicist who first theorized and offered experimental evidence that the atom was a divisible. Thomsons cathode ray tube showed that atoms contain small, negatively charged particles called electrons. He called the electron, the "corpuscle" of electrical charge.

J J Thomson discovered electrons while using a cathode ray tube to study the atomCathode rays travel from cathode to anode because it contains negative.
