Neils Bohr


Neils Bohr made numerous contributions to our understanding of the structure of properties of atoms. In, 1913, Bohr published a theory about the structure of the atom based on an earlies theory of Rutherford's. Bohr expanded upon this theory by proposing that electrons travel only in certain successively larger orbits. He suggested that the outer orbits could hold more electrons than the inner ones, and that these outer determine the atom's chemical properties.
