It is J.J. Thompson that is given credit for the discovery of the electron, and he theorized that these negative charges were embedded in a positively charged cloud like plums in a plum pudding. This gave rise to the "plum pudding" model of the atom, a theoretical structure that was swept aside by the Geiger and Marsden gold foil experiment.
