The cathodic rays beam was deflected by the atomic nucleus.
He discovered that the atom contained smaller particles called electrons.
J.J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897 while conducting experiments with cathode rays. This discovery was groundbreaking as it provided evidence for the existence of subatomic particles.
The deflection of cathodic rays was the source of inspiration for Thomson.
Thomson had two pieces of evidence: 1- No matter what metal he used for the disk, the particles produced were indentical. 2- The particles had about 1/2000 the mass of a hydrogen, the lightest atom. These experiments provided the first evidence that atoms are made of even smaller particles.
Thomson's experiments with cathode rays proved the existence of negatively charged particles, which he called electrons. This discovery provided evidence for the existence of subatomic particles and laid the foundation for the development of the modern atomic theory.
J.J. Thomson discovered that his glowing beam contained negative particles by observing the deflection of the beam in an electric field and measuring the charge-to-mass ratio of the particles. This led to his conclusion that the particles in the beam were negatively charged electrons.

The deflection of cathodic rays was the source of inspiration for Thomson.
J.J. Thomson discovered negative charges by studying cathode rays in a vacuum tube, where he observed that they were deflected by electric and magnetic fields in a way consistent with negatively charged particles. This led him to propose the existence of negatively charged particles, which he later named electrons.
J.J. Thomson, in 1897, was the first scientist to show that atoms emit tiny negative particles, which we now know as electrons. This discovery led to the development of the plum pudding model of the atom.
J.J. Thomson discovered electrons are negative by conducting experiments with cathode rays in vacuum tubes. He observed how the rays were attracted to a positively charged plate, leading him to conclude that the particles in the rays carried a negative charge, which he named electrons.
