Thomson believed about atoms, that :
An atom consists of a sphere of positive charge with negatively charged electrons embedded in it.
Positive and negative charges in an atom are equal in magnitude, thus an atom is electrically neutral and it has no overall + or - charge.
The first name was "corpuscles".
J.J. Thomson is credited with discovering electrons in 1897 through his cathode ray tube experiments. Thomson's work paved the way for the understanding of atomic structure and the development of the atomic model.
Thomson was experimenting with currents of electricity inside empty glass tubes.
What Thomson called corpuscles are now referred to as electrons.
Thomson is responsible for discovering that an atom contains electrons.
