Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All three scientists mentioned, William Crookes, J.J. Thomson, and Robert Millikan, are credited with significant contributions to our understanding of the electron. Crookes conducted experiments with cathode ray tubes and observed the unusual glow produced, while Thomson used similar experiments to determine the charge-to-mass ratio of the electron. Millikan's famous oil-drop experiment allowed for the determination of the charge of the electron. Thus, all three choices contribute to our knowledge of electrons.
