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 ...

Bohr proposed adding to the model the new idea of quanta put forth by Max Planck in 1901. That way, electrons existed at set levels of energy, that is, at fixed distances from the nucleus.

Danish physicist Niels Henrik David Bohr made foundational contributions to understanding the atomic structure and quantum theory, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922.

Niels Bohr 's Nobel Lecture on December 11, 1922, titled The Structure of the Atom, is one of the most significant contributions to our understanding of atomic structure and quantum mechanics.

Bohr's quantum theory revised Date: February 7, 2017 Source: Plataforma SINC Summary: Bohr’s atomic model was utterly revolutionary when it was presented in 1913 but, although it is still taught ...

Aage Niels Bohr The Danish physicist and Nobel laureate Aage Niels Bohr died on 8 September at the age of 87. The son of quantum-physics pioneer Niels Bohr, Aage himself made critical contributions to ...

Niels Bohr's new atomic model in 1913 was path-breaking for physics because it imposed new limits on the way atoms could react with each other. It was also path-breaking for the transition it ...

It was the same approach the younger Bohr took when developing his model of the atom in 1913 (SN: 7/13/13, p. 20). Various experiments suggested properties of the atom that seemed irreconcilable.

The atom that Bohr proposed 1 in July 1913 looked like a miniature Solar System, with electrons arranged in concentric orbits around a positively charged nucleus. In Bohr's model, electrons were ...

Nearly a century after Danish physicist Niels Bohr offered his planet-like model of the hydrogen atom, a Rice University-led team of physicists has created giant, millimeter-sized atoms that ...

The name Niels Bohr may take you back to high school chemistry class, but an event tonight (June 3) promises to take people beyond textbooks, for a behind-the-scenes look at the pioneering ...

Ernest Rutherford had recently suggested the atom had a miniature, dense nucleus surrounded by a cloud of nearly weightless electrons. There were a few problems with the model, however. For example, ...
