The electron named in 1894(wrong)
stoney named the electron in 1894(correct)
the electron was named in 1894(correct).
explanation:
1)" named" is not a working verb, a verb that can run a sentence by it self.
2) In this sentence " named" is a working verb.
my doubt is what makes the second sentence right?. In the second sentence we used "stoney",proper noun, so the sentence is stand by itself . Is my reasoning right. please provide some insights.
I always think that third sentence is right "was named" is the right usage and the second sentence is wrong because no "was" after "named". please explain

Stoney named the electron in 1894 - Stoney named something. Named is the action performed by the noun Stoney.
However in the first sentence the electron requires someone to perform an action on it(in this case requires someone to name it) . Hence 'was named' is required in the first sentence.
