Thomson was a physicist who helped introduce the knowledge of the atomic structure with
his discovery of the electron in 1897. According to Thomson's Plum Pudding Model, atoms are spheres of distributed set positive charges. He discovered the mass to charge ratio of the electron. He recieved the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1906. He was knighted in 1908; becoming Sir Joseph John Thomson.
