Niels Bohr was a Nobel Prize-winning physicist and humanitarian whose revolutionary theories on atomic structures helped shape research worldwide.

Bohr Model - Physics Book

The Bohr model of the atom was proposed by Niels Bohr in 1913 as an expansion on and correction of the Rutherford model. His model depicted atoms as having negatively charged electrons which orbited a small, positively charged nuclei containing most of the atom's mass, as Rutherford had done.

Biography - Niels Bohr

In 1913, Bohr proposed his revolutionary model, suggesting that electrons orbit the nucleus in discrete energy levels or "shells." This model explained why atoms emitted light in specific wavelengths when electrons transitioned between these orbits.

Bohr, along with John Wheeler, developed the “liquid-drop” model of the atomic nucleus (so called because it likened the nucleus to a droplet of liquid), first proposed by George Gamow.
