The 27 pages that link to J. J. Thomson, each with the reason it gives.

• Ernest RutherfordRelated: Thomson supervised Rutherford at Cambridge and proposed the atomic model Rutherford’s work displaced.

• Hendrik LorentzRelated: Thomson’s electron discovery gave experimental substance to the kind of charged particle Lorentz modeled.

• Cavendish LaboratoryRelated: His Cavendish experiments transformed the understanding of matter’s structure.

• Elementary chargeRelated: Identifying the electron made its charge a central target of measurement.

• AtomRelated: His discovery showed that atoms contain smaller charged components.

• Atomic theoryRelated: The electron’s discovery showed that atoms were divisible and required a new model.

• Thomson scatteringRelated: The scattering process bears his name and rests on treating the electron as a classical charge.

• Rutherford modelCompared with: His diffuse-positive-charge model was displaced by Rutherford’s compact nucleus.

• William CrookesRelated: Thomson resolved the nature of the rays Crookes had investigated in discharge tubes.

• Gilbert N. LewisRelated: The electron’s discovery made Lewis’s electron-based account of bonding possible.

• Cathode rayRelated: His charge-to-mass measurements showed that the rays contained subatomic particles.

• Geiger–Marsden experimentCompared with: The experiment’s results challenged his model of diffuse positive charge.

• Clinton DavissonRelated: His son George Paget Thomson independently demonstrated electron diffraction, complementing Davisson’s work.

• Plum pudding modelRelated: He proposed the model, placing negatively charged electrons within distributed positive charge.

• Wilhelm RöntgenRelated: His later work helped clarify the nature of the rays Röntgen had studied.

• Arthur ComptonRelated: Thomson’s work on electrons formed part of the experimental background to Compton’s scattering studies.

• Electron massRelated: His measurements established the electron’s charge-to-mass ratio, not its mass alone.

• Philipp LenardRelated: Thomson’s measurements built on the broader experimental study of cathode rays that Lenard pursued.

• George Paget ThomsonRelated: George Paget Thomson was his son, and their contrasting work on electrons became a scientific irony.

• Francis William AstonRelated: Thomson’s positive-ray apparatus and mentorship shaped Aston’s early research.

• History of atomic theoryRelated: The electron's discovery established that atoms contain smaller charged constituents.

• Rutherford scattering experimentsCompared with: The scattering results challenged Thomson's diffuse-charge model.

• Oil-drop experimentNarrower topic: Thomson's earlier electron measurements made a separate determination of charge necessary.

• Charles BarklaRelated: Barkla conducted his early research under Thomson at the Cavendish Laboratory.

• History of subatomic physicsRelated: His measurements established that atoms contain smaller charged particles.

• John William StruttRelated: Thomson succeeded Strutt as Cavendish Professor and continued the laboratory’s experimental legacy.

• Owen RichardsonRelated: Thomson supervised Richardson’s doctoral research at Cambridge.
