Over the years other investigators refined Bohr's theory, but his bold application of new ideas paved the way for the development of quantum mechanics. Bohr went on to make enormous contributions to ...

This "Rutherford model" would form the basis of modern atomic physics and paved the way for the quantum theory later developed by Niels Bohr. THE DISCOVERY OF THE PROTON In 1917, Rutherford made ...

Rutherford's atom consisted of a tiny central core containing virtually all the atomic mass, which he later called the nucleus, but it occupied only a minute volume "like a fly in a cathedral".

In 1913, Niels Bohr revised Rutherford's model by suggesting that the electrons orbited the nucleus in different energy levels or at specific distances from the nucleus. By doing this, he was able ...

IN his tribute to Lord Rutherford in NATURE of October 6, Prof. A. S. Eve states that Lord Kelvin died in unbelief of Rutherford's atomic theory. Mr. C. Turnbull, 21 Percy Park, Tynemouth, North ...
