Answer 1

The part of John Dalton’s theory that was disproved by J.J. Thomson’s cathode-ray tube experiments is:

Atoms are indivisible.

Thomson's experiments led to the discovery of the electron, demonstrating that atoms are made up of smaller particles, thus disproving Dalton's assertion that atoms are indivisible.
