Bohr's Atomic Model
Bohr stated in a three parts series in the Philosophical Magazine that electron orbited the nucleus in a certain way. That the particular way the electron orbited was based off of the quantum action. That when electrons moved from high to low energy orbits, the atom released electromagnetic radiation. At the time this was unacceptable and considered to be radical. It did however contribute to much experiment data especially in concerns with spectral line series of the hydrogen atom -
Nobel Prize
In 1922 Bohr won the Nobel Prize for his work on constructing the periodic table. With his atomic model in mind, Bohr did this by consistently adding electrons to an atom. In 1923 Bohr's theory lead to the discovery of element 72. The element was named after the city where Bohr was born Copenhagen. -
Complementarity Principle
Bohr's Complementarity Principle states that electrons and light must be seen as either waves or particles. That it is up to the observer on which to choose because they can never be viewed simultaneously. This theory was highly criticized by Einstein. -
The Atomic Bomb
In 1943, after fleeing from Demark because of relations been Denmark and Germany. Bohr joined the allied collation on bringing forth the atom bomb. He was a technical contributor and the notable designer of the plutonium bomb.
