The discovery of the electron as a subatomic particle was a result of experiments with cathode ray tubes.
J.J. Thomson discovered the electron, the first subatomic particle in 1897. He used discharged tube experiments.
- The electricity was passed through gases at low pressure which resulted in the emission of cathode rays.
- This discovery was made in his experiments with Cathode ray tubes
- In this experiment, he discovered that atoms had negatively charged bodies called electrons
Thus, the discovery of the electron as a subatomic particle was a result of experiments with cathode ray tubes.
