Bohr’s atomic model was utterly revolutionary when it was presented in 1913 but, although it is still taught in schools, it became obsolete decades ago. However, its creator also developed a ...

The Bohr model was an essential step toward an accurate theory of atomic structure, which required the development of quantum mechanics in the 1920s.

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.

To mark the 100th anniversary of Niels Bohr's revolutionary atomic model, the Danish Academy of Engineers - in association with the Niels Bohr Institute and The Royal Danish Society of Sciences and ...

Next, Heilbron considers Bohr’s interest in literature, particularly that of Goethe and Ibsen, and links this to the genesis of Bohr’s atomic theory.

BROADLY speaking, the merits of Bohr's atomic model lie in its very accurate explanation of the reaction of atoms and molecules with radiation, while those of the Lewis-Langmuir model lie in its ...
