Bohr: a quantum model of the atom

Contribution grade

Physics · Scoped scientific or research-capability contribution

Reference score260,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Connected discrete atomic energies and light emission in a model explaining hydrogen-like spectra.

Scientific scope

Connected discrete atomic energies and light emission in a model explaining hydrogen-like spectra. Scope limitation: This is the 1913 model and its restricted successes; later quantum mechanics replaces its literal electron orbits.

Evidence

Assessment uses the catalogue-linked source evidence for the stated contribution. This is the 1913 model and its restricted successes; later quantum mechanics replaces its literal electron orbits.
