Best Answer

Niels Henrik David Bohr made several important contributions to the understanding of atomic structure as well as quantum mechanics. He developed the theory that electrons travel in orbits around the nucleus of the atom, and that the chemical properties of an element are determined by how many electrons exist in an atom's outermost orbit. He received a Nobel Prize in physics for his work. Later, he worked on the Manhattan Project developing the first atomic bomb.
