Today, October 7, is the birthday of Niels Bohr (1885-1962), Danish physicist born in Copenhagen Denmark. He was awarded the 1922 Nobel Prize in physics for developing the Bohr Theory of the atom.

Bohr proposed that electrons travel in orbits around the atom's nucleus, and that elements are determined by the number of electrons in the outer orbits of their atoms. His model was the first quantum model for the internal structure of the atom.
