Transcript
Bohr Published 3 books in his life:
- The Theory of Spectra Atomic Constitution in 1922
- Atomic Theory and the Description of Nature in 1934
- The Unity of Knowledge in 1955
Bohr also came up with the "Liquid Droplet Theory" in 1936 which significantly boosted scientists' understanding of nuclear fission.
However, Bohr's greatest contribution to modern physics was the Atomic Model which showed the atom as a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons.
Fun Fact
- In 1916 Bohr became the Professor of Theoretical Physics at Copenhagen University
- He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922
- He was a Physicist
- He was called The Father of Quantum Theory
Death
Neil Bohr Died on November 18 1962 in Copenhagen Denmark .
Cause- Stroke / Heart Failure
During World War 2 the Bohr family escaped to Sweden, with Bohr eventually making his way to the U.S. as well. Bohr then worked with the Manhattan Project in Nevada, where the first atom bomb was being created. Because he had concerns about how the bomb could be used,
