Niels Bohr (October 7, 1885- November 18, 1962)

  • 1913

    1913

    "He developed his atomic structure model that depicted how an atom was a small positive charge that was surrounded by negatively charged particles.So, instead of using gravity, he used electromagnetic forces to create this attraction. Also, had an idea that electrons orbit around the atom's nucleus the elements chemical property that is largely determined by the electrons in the outer orbit."

  • 1920

    Established "correspondence principle" which was an idea that both classical and quantum physics would give same answers when systems become larger. (Niels Bohr - Important Scientists - The Physics of the Universe)
  • 1921

    Founded Institue of Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen serving as director. Bohr developed his principle of complementarity, an idea that particles can be separately analyzed. (Niels Bohr - Important Scientists - The Physics of the Universe)
  • 1947

    Awarded Order of the Elephant which was in Denmark equivalent to Knighthood. (Niels Bohr - Important Scientists - The Physics of the Universe)
  • 1922

    1922

    Awarded Nobel Prize in Physics for the investigation of a structure of atoms and for radiation emanating from them. (Niels Bohr - Important Scientists - The Physics of the Universe)
