A five-dimensional model has successfully predicted the asymmetric fission of mercury isotopes, offering new insights into ...

Bohr started with a picture in which electrons circle the atomic nucleus, rather as planets orbit a star. He postulated that there are specific values of orbital energies at which electrons do not ...

Brilliant mind Illustration of the Danish physicist and Nobel laureate Niels Bohr (1885-1962). Bohr made numerous contributions to physics during his career, but it was his work on atomic structure ...

Niels Bohr's Nobel Lecture on December 11, 1922, titled The Structure of the Atom, is one of the most significant contributions to our understanding of atomic structure and quantum mechanics.This ...

Bohr’s atomic model answered dozens of questions that had the physicists of the time chewing their pencil stubs. It won him a Nobel Prize, but it, too, had faults which were gradually corrected ...

BROADLY speaking, the merits of Bohr's atomic model lie in its very accurate explanation of the reaction of atoms and molecules with radiation, while those of the Lewis-Langmuir model lie in its ...
