Democritus did not discover the electron, He was a Greek philosopher who was the first to hypothesize the atom. There was much experimentation with the property of electricity (dating back to the early Greeks), but the particle was not discovered until the 1800s by a number of German physicists. Research the electron for a more detailed explanation.
