He was a Danish physicist that contributed vital to the understanding of atomic framework as well as the advancement of quantum technicians. Niels Bohr won the Nobel Reward in Physics in 1922.
Bohr was born upon 7 October 1885 in Copenhagen. His parents were Christian Bohr and also Ellen Adler. He passed away the exact same place on 18 november 1962.
In his youth he played football for the Danish national group and also was a passionate seafarer. His brother, Harald Bohr was a mathematician and also footballer, he won silver for Denmark during the Summer Olympics 1908.
Bohr was enlightened at the University of Copenhagen in 1911, after which he went to Manchester in England and examined with Ernest Rutherford. In 1913 he released a summary of the atom's structure. This summary was later referred to as the Bohr version.
Bohr was in 1916 selected professor at Copenhagen University and also chair of the newly established Institute for Theoretical physicist. He ate dinner with the royal household of Norway on the 8th april 1940, prior to the intrusion of Norway as well as Denmark. He liked to ski in the hills, especially in Norway.
