Niels Bohr change the atomic theory by realizing that the electrons did not crash into the nucleus as would be expected in classical physics. Classical physics says that opposites attract and likes repel, so the negative electrons should be attracted to the positive nucleus. But not so. Why? Bohr took the ideas of Rutherford (nuclear model), Planck (quanta), Einstein (photoelectric effect and spectroscopy and created the Planetary Model. Bohr proposed that electrons were in energy levels (ground state) and absorbed photons of certain frequencies to move to a higher energy level (excited state). Then the electrons would release the photons in quantized amounts to return to ground state. The releasing of the photons is responsible for the line spectra given off by elements when excited. This idea was totally counter-intuitive and required a new physics.

The Bohr model of the atom was proposed by Neil Bohr in 1915. It came into existence with the modification of Rutherford’s model of an atom. Rutherford’s model introduced the nuclear model of an atom, in which he explained that a nucleus (positively charged) is surrounded by negatively charged electrons.

The most instantly recognizable image of an atom resembles a miniature solar system with the concentric electron paths forming the planetary orbits and the nucleus at the centre like the sun. In July of 1913, Danish physicist Niels Bohr published the first of a series of three papers introducing this model of the atom, which became known simply as the Bohr atom. Bohr, one of the pioneers of quantum theory, had taken the atomic model presented a few years earlier by physicist Ernest Rutherford and given it a quantum twist. Rutherford had made the startling discovery that most of the atom is empty space. The vast majority of its mass is located in a positively charged central nucleus, which is 10,000 times smaller than the atom itself. The dense nucleus is surrounded by a swarm of tiny, negatively charged electrons. Bohr, who worked for a key period in 1912 in Rutherford’s laboratory in Manchester in the UK, was worried about a few inconsistencies in this model. According to the rules of classical physics, the electrons would eventually spiral down into the nucleus, causing the atom to collapse. Rutherford’s model didn’t account for the stability of atoms, so Bohr turned to the burgeoning field of quantum physics, which deals with the microscopic scale, for answers. Bohr suggested that instead of buzzing randomly around the nucleus, electrons inhabit orbits situated at a fixed distance away from the nucleus. In this picture, each orbit is associated with a particular energy, and the electron can change orbit by emitting or absorbing energy in discrete chunks (called quanta). In this way, Bohr was able to explain the spectrum of light emitted (or absorbed) by hydrogen, the simplest of all atoms. Bohr published these ideas in 1913 and over the next decade developed the theory with others to try to explain more complex atoms. In 1922 he was rewarded with the Nobel prize in physics for his work. However, the model was misleading in several ways and ultimately destined for failure. The maturing field of quantum mechanics revealed that it was impossible to know an electron’s position and velocity simultaneously. Bohr’s well-defined orbits were replaced with probability “clouds” where an electron is likely to be. But the model paved the way for many scientific advances. All experiments investigating atomic structure - including some at CERN, like those on antihydrogen and other exotic atoms at the Antiproton Decelerator, and at the On-Line Isotope Mass Separator ( ISOLDE) - can be traced back to the revolution in atomic theory that Rutherford and Bohr began a century ago. "All of atomic and subatomic physics has built on the legacy of these distinguished gentlemen," says University of Liverpool’s Peter Butler who works on ISOLDE.

Niels Bohr proposed a model of the atom in which the electron was able to occupy only certain orbits around the nucleus. This
Niels Bohr adapted Ernest Rutherford's nuclear model. Bohr did calculations that led him to suggest that electrons orbit the nucleus in shells. The shells are at certain distances from the nucleus. The calculations agreed with observations from experiments.
What is Niels Bohr's contribution to the atomic theory quizlet? ›The key idea in the Bohr model of the atom is that electrons occupy definite orbits which require the electron to have a specific amount of energy. Electrons cannot exist at the spaces in between the Bohr orbits. Niels Bohr proposed that electrons circled the nucleus of an atom in a planetary-like motion.
What was Niels Bohr's model of the atom? ›In the year 1913, Niels Bohr proposed an atomic structure model, describing an atom as a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons that travel in circular orbits around the positively charged nucleus like planets around the sun in our solar system, with attraction provided by electrostatic forces, ...
What are the successes of Bohr's model of the atom? ›Bohr's theory of Atoms successfully explains the line spectrum of hydrogen. It explains the line spectra of single-electron ions like He+ and Li2+. Bohr's theory helped in calculating the energy of electrons in hydrogen atoms and hydrogen like compounds.
What did Niels Bohr discover about the atom quizlet? ›What did Niels Bohr discover? He discovered that electrons move around the nucleus in orbits called electron shells.
How did Bohr suggest that an atomic spectrum is created when the in an atom move between energy levels? ›Bohr's model suggests that the atomic spectra of atoms is produced by electrons gaining energy from some source, jumping up to a higher energy level, then immediately dropping back to a lower energy level and emitting the energy difference between the two energy levels.
Who contributed to the atomic theory and their major contribution discovery about the atom? ›The main scientists involved in early atomic theory are Democritus, John Dalton, J.J. Thomson, Ernest Rutherford, Niels Bohr, Robert Millikan and Irwin Schrodinger. Democritus theorized the existence of atoms in ancient Greece. Dalton and Thomson developed atomic models in the 1800s.
What is the contribution of Niels Bohr in periodic table? ›The modern periodic table was prepared by Neils Bohr. It is also known as a long form of periodic table. It has been designed on the basis of the modern periodic law which states that "the properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers." This periodic law was proposed by Henry Moseley.
What was Bohr's contribution to the periodic table? ›Bohr showed that the chemical properties of the elements result mainly from the behavior of the electrons occupying the highest stable orbit; these are called valence electrons. In doing so, he explained much of the structure of the periodic table and founded a new scientific discipline: quantum chemistry.
