    He was known for naming particles atoms. He believed that they were infinite in number, always moving, could combine with other atoms, and each subastance had atoms of unique shape and size.

  • Neils Bohr (1885-1962)

    Neils Bohr (1885-1962)
    He won the Nobel Prize in 1922. He proposed that electrons orbit the nucleus without losing energy, could move only in fixed orbits of specific energies, and that electrons with low energy would orbit closer to the nucleus while electrons with high energy orbit further from the nucleus.
