		Niels Henrik David Bohr[nEls han´ rEk dA´vEth bOr] Pronunciation Key, 1885–1962, Danish physicist, one of the foremost scientists of modern physics.
		Bohr provided the solution to this problem in 1913, when he postulated that electrons move around the nucleus of the atom in restricted orbits and explained the manner in which the atom absorbs and emits energy.
		Bohr was a leading figure in the continuing development of the quantum theory over the next twenty years.

	Niels Bohr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His brother was Harald Bohr, a mathematician and Olympic soccer player who played in the Danish national team; Niels Bohr was a passionate soccer player as well, but, contrary to what is claimed sometimes, never played in the national team.
		Based on Rutherford's theories, Bohr published his model of atomic structure in 1913, introducing the theory of electrons traveling in orbits around the atom's nucleus, the chemical properties of the element being largely determined by the number of electrons in the outer orbits.
		In 1916, Niels Bohr became a professor at the University of Copenhagen, and director of the newly constructed "Institute of Theoretical Physics" in 1920.

		Niels Henrik David Bohr (7 Ottobre 1885 - 18 Novembre 1962), fisico danese, che diede contributi essenziali nella comprensione della struttura atomica e nella meccanica quantistica.
		Bohr concepì il principio di complementarità: sistemi che hanno proprietà in contraddizione fra loro possono essere considerati separatamente.
		Bohr trovò anche applicazioni filosofiche a questo strano principio, che fu anche il motivo di famose discussioni con Albert Einstein, che invece preferiva la chiarezza della fisica classica rispetto ai nuovi concetti quantistici.

	Niels Bohr - Biography
		Niels Henrik David Bohr was born in Copenhagen on October 7, 1885, as the son of Christian Bohr, Professor of Physiology at Copenhagen University, and his wife Ellen, née Adler.
		Bohr's subsequent studies, however, became more and more theoretical in character, his doctor's disputation being a purely theoretical piece of work on the explanation of the properties of the metals with the aid of the electron theory, which remains to this day a classic on the subject.
		Niels Bohr was President of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences, of the Danish Cancer Committee, and Chairman of the Danish Atomic Energy Commission.

	Bohr, Niels
		One of the foremost scientists of the 20th century, Niels Henrik David Bohr was the first to apply the quantum theory, which restricts the energy of a system to certain discrete values, to the problem of atomic and molecular structure.
		Bohr was born in Copenhagen on Oct. 7, 1885.
		Bohr was among the first to see the importance of the atomic number, which indicates the position of an element in the periodic table and is equal to the number of natural units of electric charge on the nuclei of its atoms.

		Niels Bohr was born on October 7, 1885, in Copenhagen, Denmark.
		Bohr used Rutherford's findings that an atom is made up of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons and proposed that electrons travel in orbits, with the outer orbits holding more electrons than the inner ones.
		Bohr is best known for his investigations of the atomic structure and also for his work on radiation, for which he won the Nobel Prize in 1922.

		Bohr was born in Copenhagen and was educated at the University of Copenhagen at the time when Max Planck had just begun the development of quantum mechanics.
		Especially astonishing was that Bohr, in his explanation of atomic structure, departed from classical mechanics and made use of Planck's constant and the quantum theory.
		In 1916, Bohr was appointed professor of theoretical physics at the University of Copenhagen, and in 1922 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics.

	The Bohr Model of the Atom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In 1913 Neils Bohr (1885-1962), a Danish physicist, proposed a theoretical model for the hydrogen atom.
		The equation Bohr derived for the energy of the electron included a number of physical constants such as the mass of the electron, its charge, and Planck's constant.
		Since the energy of the electron in a given orbit is fixed, a drop from one particular orbit to another, say from n=2 to n=1, always releases the same amount of energy, and the frequency of light emitted because of this change in energy is always precisely the same.

		Niels Henrik David Bohr fou un físic danès Copenhague, 1885-1962.

		Les series espectrals observades són interpretades per bohr com a salts de nivell; la freqüència de la radiació depèn del salt i, consegüentment, l'energia emesa serà més gran en la mesura que el salt sigui més gran.

		It was here that Bohr worked on the theoretical implications of Rutherford's nuclear model of the atom and he was among the first to see the importance of the number of electrons in an atom's structure in determining the physical and chemical properties of an element.
		Bohr was the first to see that a stable atomic structure was possible if energy levels were inherently restricted to discrete levels, a possibility made conceiveable by Max Planck's discovery of the discrete properties of radiation spectra.
		Bohr returned to Copenhagen in 1912, and was appointed to a professorship from which position he led research into the fundamental quantum physics for the rest of his life, with many of the great physicists of the period, including Werner Heisenberg coming to work in Copenhagen.

		Niels Bohr returned to Denmark in August 1945 and immediately began to plan an extension of the Institute to permit active participation in nuclear research which was rapidly developing.
		Bohr's lectures, composed with tremendous labour, were indeed masterpieces of allusive evocation of a subtle dialectic; the trouble was that the audience was usually unprepared to catch subtle allusions to conceptions and arguments which were anyhow unfamiliar and hard to grasp.
		Bohr intervened with a soothing pronouncement about how hard it was to imagine how the behaviour of the electron could be described beyond the limit where correspondence with the classical point-charge picture afforded legitimate guidance; we must here be prepared for further renouncement in the application of classical concepts.

	Niels Bohr: The Atomic Bomb and Beyond
		But Bohr was also one of the most foresighted of men, and one of the few who not only thought ahead about the post-World War II implications of the atomic bomb but who personally urged President Franklin Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill to prepare for the nuclear future.
		Bohr became one of the key fission researchers, determining in 1939 that the rare U-235 isotope was the isotope that made uranium fissionable and which made a chain reaction theoretically possible.
		Bohr was surprised; he later wrote: "...it was a revelation to me to learn...about the advanced stage the work had already reached" (J. Robert Oppenheimer papers, Box 34, Bohr memorandum to President Roosevelt, July 3rd, 1944, Library of Congress).

		In one of Bohr's successful attempts at this, he was especially pleased to note that Einstein had forgotten that according to his own theory of general relativity clocks run more slowly under the influence of a gravitational field.
		Bohr said that many non-radiating orbits were allowed, each one having an integral factor of the basic unit of angular momentum, h/2*pi.
		Bohr's "Copenhagen school" produced the famous "Copenhagen interpretation" of quantum mechanics of which one of the main planks was Bohr's theory of "complementarity".

	The Bohr Model
		The Bohr Model is probably familar as the "planetary model" of the atom illustrated in the adjacent figure that, for example, is used as a symbol for atomic energy (a bit of a misnomer, since the energy in "atomic energy" is actually the energy of the nucleus, rather than the entire atom).
		In the Bohr Model the neutrons and protons (symbolized by red and blue balls in the adjacent image) occupy a dense central region called the nucleus, and the electrons orbit the nucleus much like planets orbiting the Sun (but the orbits are not confined to a plane as is approximately true in the Solar System).
		This similarity between a planetary model and the Bohr Model of the atom ultimately arises because the attractive gravitational force in a solar system and the attractive Coulomb (electrical) force between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electrons in an atom are mathematically of the same form.
