In a sense Niels Bohr did by introducing different orbits in which electrons spin around the nucleus. Bohr argued that each electron has a certain fixed amount of energy, which corresponds to its fixed orbit. Therefore, when an electron absorbs energy, it jumps to the next higher orbit rather than moving continuously between orbits. The characteristic of electrons having fixed energy quantities (quanta) is also known as the quantum theory of the atom.

Who developed the model of the hydrogen atom using discrete orbits?

Niels Bohr developed the model of the hydrogen atom using discrete orbits based on the idea that electrons orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels rather than in continuous paths. This model helped explain the spectral lines of hydrogen observed in experiments.


Did Bohr's model of the atom explain hydrogen's flammability?

Bohr's model of the atom doesn't explain hydrogen's flammability.


What was the first model of the atom was developed through?

The first model of the atom was developed through the discovery of subatomic particles such as electrons, protons, and neutrons. This led to the development of the planetary model of the atom proposed by Niels Bohr in 1913.


What scientist developed the model of the atom shown?

Niels Bohr developed the model of the atom shown in the image. He proposed the planetary model of the atom, where electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed energy levels.


What is Niels Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom?

The Bohr model for hydrogen is a proton orbited by an electron.


Bohr preformed his experiments with the hydrogen atom?

Yes, its true. Therefore every theory developed by Bohr is based on Hydrogen atom.


Who developed the first model of an atom with electrons on the outside?

Ernest Rutherford developed the first nucleus and electron model of the atom. It was based on experiments conducted by Geiger and Marsden.


Who developed a more impressive model of atom in 1926?

The current picture of the hydrogen atom is based on the atomic orbitals of wave mechanics which Erwin Schrodinger developed in 1926. This model is based on the Schrodinger Equation.


True or false The Bohr model of the atom could be correctly applied to only one atom the helium atom?

Niels Bohr in fact based his model on the hydrogen atom. However, I wouldn't say that the Bohr Model can be correctly applied to ANY atom. Whilst it is an excellent approximation it is not truly accurate. Please don't forget that the Bohr Model is just that, a model, and a model is never as accurate as the real thing.


Who developed an empirical equation from which the wave lenghts of lines in the spectrum of hydrogen atoms can be calculated?

Niels Bohr developed an empirical equation, known as the Balmer formula, which calculates the wavelengths of lines in the spectrum of hydrogen atoms. This equation helped explain the discrete energy levels of electrons within an atom, leading to the development of the Bohr model of the atom.
