    Niels Henrik David Bohr was a Danish physicist who made foundational contributions to atomic structure and quantum mechanics. He developed the planetary model of the atom with electrons orbiting a central nucleus, and proposed that electrons move between discrete energy levels, not continuously. Bohr mentored many top 20th century physicists at his Copenhagen institute. He also contributed to the Manhattan Project. Bohr was born in Copenhagen in 1885 to a professor father and wealthy Jewish mother, and received the 1922 Nobel Prize in Physics.

    Homework-Niels Henrik

    Niels Henrik David Bohr ; 7 October 1885 18 November 1962)[1] was a Danish physicist who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum mechanics, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922.[2] He developed the model of the atom with the nucleus at the center and electrons in orbit around it, which he compared to the planets orbiting the sun. He worked on the idea in quantum mechanics that electrons move from one energy level to another in discrete steps, not continuously. Bohr mentored and collaborated with many of the top physicists of the century at his institute in Copenhagen. He was part of the British team of physicists working on the Manhattan Project. Bohr married Margrethe Nrlund in 1912, and one of their sons, Aage Bohr, was also a physicist and in 1975 also received the Nobel Prize.

    Bohr was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1885. His father, Christian Bohr, was professor of physiology at the University of Copenhagen (it is his name which is given to the Bohr shift or Bohr effect), while his mother, Ellen Adler Bohr, came from a wealthy Jewish family prominent in Danish banking and parliamentary circles (in 1891, Bohr was baptized a Lutheran, his father's religion). Despite having a religious background, he later resigned his membership from the Lutheran Church and became an atheist. His brother was Harald Bohr, a mathematician and Olympicfootballer who played on the Danish national team. Niels Bohr was a passionate footballer as well, and the two brothers played a number of matches for the Copenhagenbased Akademisk Boldklub, with Niels in goal
