1. The Thomson model consisted of electrons imbedded in a + charged "pudding" or a soup of + charges. Therefore I would think + charges would be the most important in bonding.

2. Second place would go to the electron since the neutron wasn't discovered until about 30 years later.

3 You should be able to deduce this from your text/notes.
