The Bohr model of the atom, proposed by Danish physicist Niels Bohr in 1913, represented a significant development in the understanding of atomic structure. It revolutionized the view in classical physics of the atom by introducing the concept of quantized energy levels for electrons.
- While the Bohr model provided valuable insights into atomic structure and spectral lines, it had limitations, especially when applied to larger atoms. It was eventually superseded by quantum mechanics, which provided a more comprehensive understanding of the behaviour of electrons in atoms.
