Niels Bohr was born October 7, 1885 in Copenhagen, Denmark. After attending Copenhagen University Bohr received his master’s degree in physics in 1909 and his doctor’s degree in 1911. Bohr began working under J.J. Thomson and then began to adapt Rutherford’s model of the atom to Max Planck’s quantum theory, which created a new theory of atomic structure. In this new structure, negatively charged electrons traveled in orbits around the nucleus of the atom. For this, Bohr received the Nobel Prize in physics.

This came to be known as the Bohr Model:
