The early 20th century experiments on electrical discharge through gases eventually led to the discovery of cathode rays (electrons). The major finding was that the characteristics of these cathode rays (electrons) were independent of the material used for the electrodes and the nature of the gas present in the cathode ray tube. This consistent behaviour across different substances led to the conclusion that electrons are a basic constituent of all atoms.
