The Discovery of the Electrons [edit]. The Electron was discovered in 1896, by the British physicist J. J. Thomson, using a cathode rays while doing discharge tube experiments. Thomson also determined e/m, ratio of the charge e to the mass m of the material particle which constituted these rays.
Rutherford overturned Thomson's model in 1911 with his well-known gold foil experiment in which he demonstrated that the atom has a tiny, heavy nucleus. Rutherford designed an experiment to use the alpha particles emitted by a radioactive element as probes to the unseen world of atomic structure.he Rutherford paper suggested that the central charge of an atom might be proportional to its atomic mass in hydrogen mass units u (roughly 1/2 of it, in Rutherford's model).
