Oct 7, 2012 · The discovery of the electron and radioactivity in the late 19th century led to different models being proposed for the atom’s structure. In 1913, Niels Bohr proposed a theory for the hydrogen atom, based on quantum theory that some physical quantities only take discrete values.
Niels Henrik David Bohr ( Danish: [ˈne̝ls ˈpoɐ̯ˀ]; 7 October 1885 – 18 November 1962) was a Danish physicist who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922. Bohr was also a philosopher and a promoter of scientific research.
Aug 29, 2017 · Bohr's greatest contribution to modern physics was the atomic model. The Bohr model shows the atom as a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons.

Bohr returned to Denmark in the fall of 1912 with two foremost ideas: Firstly, he wanted to understand the behavior of electrons in the atom. Secondly, he resolved to model his own behavior as a physicist on Rutherford’s. Bohr found Rutherford’s boundless energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge inspiring.
Aug 14, 2013 · To salvage the atom, Bohr had to invent new rules that clashed with classical physics. He bravely put forward his idea, suggesting the implausible: what if the electron could only move in certain...
