Niels+Bohr(GD)

Niel Bohr 1885-1965 Discovery:1913

Bohr worked extensively on the structure of atoms. He won the Nobel Prize in 1922 for his work. Bohr studied the structure of atoms on the basis of Rutherford's discovery of the atomic nucleus. By introducing conceptions borrowed from the Quantum Theory as established by Planck he succeeded in working out and presenting a picture of atomic structure that, with later improvements (mainly as a result of Heisenberg's ideas in 1925), still fitly serves as an elucidation of the physical and chemical properties of the elements.
