Bohr developed the Bohr model of the atom, in which he proposed that energy levels of electrons are discrete and that the electrons revolve in stable orbits around the atomic nucleus but can jump from one energy level (or orbit) to another.

Bohr's Model of an Atom

Niels Bohr, revised Rutherford’s atomic model and put forth the following suggestions:

  • Neils Bohr proposed that the electrons possess a specific amount of energy which allows them to revolve around the nucleus.
  • An atom contains discrete orbits which correspond to specific amount of energy. Hence, these orbits are also known as energy levels.
  • The energy levels of an atom are represented as K, L, M, N, and so on or the numbers n = 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on.
