atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties; atoms of different elements differ in sixe, mass, and other properties. atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed.

He was the first to suggest that the fundimental unit was over 1000 times smaller than an atom, suggesting the sub-atomic particles now known as elections.

It describes most of the accepted features of atomic theory without all of the high-level math of the modern version. Unlike earlier models, the Bohr Model explains the Rydberg formula for the spectral emission lines of atomic hydrogen.
