The question probably refers to 'the modern theory of electron clouds'. This theory is now almost a century old and is called quantum mechanics. It describes the states of electrons in an atom as 'electron clouds', so-called orbitals, which indicate the probability distribution of the electron wave function. In contrast to a naive classical picture that pictures electrons as point-like particles with given velocity and position, the quantum mechanical picture describes electrons as smeared-out matter waves following the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

What subatomic particle was discovered with the use of a cathode ray tube?
The electron was discovered by using cathode ray tubes. When it was discovered that the cathode ray diverted away from the negative end of a magnet to the positive end, it revealed that there was a negative particle present in the ray.
