NIELS BOHR





Niels Henrik David Bohr (Danish: [ˈne̝ls ˈpoɐ̯ˀ]; 7 October 1885 – 18 November
1962) was a Danish physicist who made foundational contributions to
understanding atomic structure and quantum theory, for which he received the
Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922. Bohr was also a philosopher and a promoter of
scientific research.

Bohr developed the Bohr model of the atom, in which he proposed that energy
levels of electrons are discrete and that the electrons revolve in stable orbits
around the atomic nucleus but can jump from one energy level (or orbit) to
another. Although the Bohr model has been supplanted by other models, its
underlying principles remain valid. He conceived the principle of
complementarity: that items could be separately analysed in terms of
contradictory properties, like behaving as a wave or a stream of particles. The
notion of complementarity dominated Bohr's thinking in both science and
philosophy.

Bohr founded the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of
Copenhagen, now known as the Niels Bohr Institute, which opened in 1920. Bohr
