To explain atomic emission spectra. Using the Bohr Model of a hydrogen atom, deriving the frequency of these emission lines is almost trivial. Without the Bohr Model, deriving them is impossible.
Also, the "classical" model of electrons in an atom, acting like planets around a nucleus, would result in complete collapse of such an atom in a small fraction of a second.

Neils Bohr discovered it one day
Sir Neils Bohr
how has neils bohr model changed over time
Neils Bohr, in 1913.
Neils Bohr's most significant contributions to science were creating the Bohr model of the atom and furthering the understanding of quantum mechanics.

The Bohr model is named after Danish physicist Niels Bohr, who proposed the model in 1913 to describe the structure of atoms. Bohr's model introduced the idea of quantized energy levels for electrons in an atom, revolutionizing our understanding of atomic structure.

Was it not Neils Bohr. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niels_Bohr#Atomic_research
The Bohr Model is the modern name used by scientist for a model of an atom, which is often referred to as the Rutherford-Bohr model due to the fact that Neils Bohr just improved Ernest Rutherfords model.
No, Niels Bohr was not J.J. Thomson's student. Niels Bohr was a student of Ernest Rutherford, who was a colleague of J.J. Thomson. Bohr developed his own atomic model, known as the Bohr model, which built upon the work of Thomson and Rutherford.
