The Bohr Model
After publishing his theoretical work on the absorption of alpha rays in the Philosophical Magazine. Bohr went on to study the structure of the atom. Successfully creating and presenting a model of the atom, that after some minor improvements provided by Heisenberg in 1925, still serve as the elucidation of the physical and chemical properties of the elements. https://youtu.be/S1LDJUu4nko -
