The Bohr model is a neat but quite imperfect depiction of the inner workings of an atom before things got too muddled up by quantum principles.

Bohr went on to make enormous contributions to physics and, like Rutherford, to train a new generation of physicists. But his atomic model remains the best known work of a very long career.

In 1912, Bohr was working for the Nobel laureate J.J. Thompson in England when he was introduced to Ernest Rutherford, whose discovery of the nucleus and development of an atomic model had earned ...

Well, the other difference in the Bohr model is that the electron can not orbit (if it does orbit, which it doesn't) at any distance and any energy. Here is the essence of the Bohr model.

Niels Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom—first published 100 years ago and commemorated in a special issue of Nature—is simple, elegant, revolutionary, and wrong. Well, "wrong" isn't exactly ...

Location of electrons – Bohr-Rutherford model. Even though Rutherford had proven the existence of the nucleus, some issues still remained unanswered, for example how electrons fitted into this ...

Bohr’s thoughts on truth have recently been illuminated by newly available correspondence with his fiancée, Margrethe Nørlund, during his work on the atom model.

Highlights included the discovery of the atomic nucleus in 1911, Henry Moseley's physical explanation of the different properties of chemical elements and the consequent Rutherford-Bohr model of the ...

Bohr went on to make enormous contributions to physics and, like Rutherford, to train a new generation of physicists. But his atomic model remains the best known work of a very long career.

Over the years other investigators refined Bohr's theory, but his bold application of new ideas paved the way for the development of quantum mechanics. Bohr went on to make enormous contributions to ...
