WRONG! - Though only the striked bold italics are.
Thomson only discovered the electron. After initially researching cathode rays, he dabbled a bit, but was only re-interested in it about year later, because of another scientist's trial. This "other" scientist - using a collector - found that cathode rays had negative charges. Thomson, his cathode ray curiosity renewed, decided to experiment more. His experiment was also coincidentally with cathode rays and collectors. However, his specific experiment was used to discern the mass difference of the collector after firing cathode rays at it; this is what makes him important in history. He fully showed the existence of the electron (a formerly non-existant, smaller than an atom, subparticle) and formed a model based on it - famously known as the plum pudding model.

Who was Joseph John Thomson?
Joseph John Thomson, or J.J. Thomson, was a British physicist. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1906.The prize was for his extensive research which was part of the process of discovering the electron. He is usually said to have discovered the electron, but it is more accurate to say he characterized and extended the experimental phenomena of the time which contributed to our understanding of the electron as a charged particle and a constituent of matter.He is also known as the scientist who came up with the idea of the "plum pudding model" for the structure of the atom, a model later replaced after Ernest Rutherford (who had been a student under Thompson) discovered the nucleus.Read more: Where_did_jj_thomson_work">Where_did_jj_thomson_work;
