"Epistemology, or, "theory of knowledge", is the branch of philosophy that studies the nature, methods, limitations and validity of knowledge and belief. (Wilkipedia Epistemology) According to Plato, and, represented by a figure of subsets, knowledge is the subset of what is both true and believed.
Epistemology was the basis for "debates" between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr on quantum physics and many more topics. Actually close friends, Einstein and Bohr discussed not only quantum physics, but many more topics, taking the form of an Einstein challenge and a Bohr response; discussions rather than debates which yielded a lot of information. (Wilkipedia Bohr-Einstein debates)
Niels Henrik David Bohr, (October 7, 1885-November 18, 1962), "...a Danish physicist who made fundamental contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum physics..." (Wilkipedia Niels Bohr) Bohr basically was considered the father of atomic structure. (Hart Page 512) Bohr sharpened his thinking studying with J.J. Thompson who discovered the electron. Further He studied with Ernest Rutherford who discovered the atomic nucleus.
Bohr developed his own theory which was published in 1913 as an epoch-making work "On the Constitution of Atoms and Molecules". (Hart page 512) Bohr described an atom as a miniature solar system with electrons revolving around the heavy nucleus. (Hart page 513)
Bohr's work did a lot of explaining regarding the structure of the atom, including the explanation as to why it was limited in size; and, the fact that light did not include all colors. Additionally, Bohr predicted the existence of additional spectral lines and, ultimately won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922.

∙ 12y agoNeils Bohr took some findings of Dalton, Rutherford , and some others,and finally some of his own to present a brand new atomic theory--that electrons revolve around the nucleus in discrete shells and have discrete energy values. Because of this, they do NOT radiate energy continuously, so they do not fall in the nucleus, and the atom is able to maintain its stability.

What did Bohr’s model of the atom include that Rutherford’s model did not have?
Niels Bohr introduced the notion of electronic orbits.
How did niels bohr differ from ernest Rutherford?
By him being him.
What did Niels Bohr contribute to the understanding of the atom?
Niels Bohr created the Bohr Model of the atom. It was an improvement on previous models (Thompson's Plum Pudding Model, Rutherford's model, etc.) which depicted the atom as a positive nucleus surrounded by negative electrons. Niels Bohr was also a member of the team of scientists working on the Manhattan Project.
Was the quantum mechanical model of the atom proposed by Niels Bohr?
No. Before the Bohr model ,the most accepted model was the Rutherford model of the atom. Before that there was the plum-pudding model.
Who was a student of Niels Bohr who discovered neutrons in the nucleus?
A student of Niels Bohr did not discover neutrons; Rutherford's student, James Chadwick, did.
Which scientist developed atomic model?
The modern atomic model is elaborated by Niels Bohr.
Which scientist is known for developing the planetary model of the atom?
The scientist that developed the orbital model is Niels Bohr
What did Bohr’s model of the atom include that Rutherford’s model did not have?
Niels Bohr introduced the notion of electronic orbits.
Which model of the atom first proposed that electrons orbit the nucleus?
Now, an advanced model derived from the Niels Bohr theory.
How did Niels Bohr's model of the atom different from Rutherford model?
first the positive and negative charges are separated on the models and technically speaking, niels bohrs is more advanced and more accurate. Bohr's atomic model was based on quantisation of energy and angular momentum of the electron whereas Rutherford does not give an idea of permitted orbits.
Who discovered the bohr model?
Niels Bohr (1885-1962) was a young Danish physicist and a student of Rutherford. He believed Rutherford's model needed improvement. So in 1913 Bohr changed Rutherford's model to include newer discoveries about how the energy of an atom changes when it absorbs or emits light. He considered the simplest atom, hydrogen, which has one electron. Bohr proposed that an electron is found only in specific circular paths, or orbits, around the nucleus.

How did Ernest Rutherford change the atomic model?
Before Rutherford, scientists assumed that the atom was a single particle. Rutherford presented his revolutionary, physical atomic model that suggested an atom consists of a central charge (the term 'nucleus' was coined after Rutherford's model was presented) that is surrounded, presumably, by a cloud of orbiting electrons. He showed that most of an atom's mass was located in the atom's nucleus. Rutherford's model was later improved upon by Niels Bohr, father of the Bohr-model. Rutherford made no connection to an element's atomic number and the number of protons within an atom's nucleus; however, his atomic model paved the way for the discovery of this correlation only a couple years after his model was designed.
