Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell, who developed the theory of electricity and magnetism in the late 1800s, proposed that Faraday s laws required that one molecule of positive and negative electricity is involved in electrolysis. Irish physicist George Johnstone Stoney believed in this molecule of electricity and set out to measure the definite quantity of electricity, called el. He suggested that if this unit of electricity was adopted, it would represent a very important step in our study of molecular phenomena. In 1891 Stoney referred to these charges as electrons. The controversy of the day then revolved around whether these electrons were waves or particles.
