  2. Bohr model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_model

    The Bohr model of the hydrogen atom (Z = 1) or a hydrogen-like ion (Z > 1), where the negatively charged electron confined to an atomic shell encircles a small, positively charged atomic nucleus and where an electron jumps between orbits, is accompanied by an emitted or absorbed amount of electromagnetic energy (hν). [1]

  3. Old quantum theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_quantum_theory

    The theory would have correctly explained the Zeeman effect, except for the issue of electron spin. Sommerfeld's model was much closer to the modern quantum mechanical picture than Bohr's. Throughout the 1910s and well into the 1920s, many problems were attacked using the old quantum theory with mixed results.

  4. Bohr–Sommerfeld model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr–Sommerfeld_model

    The theory would have correctly explained the Zeeman effect, except for the issue of electron spin. Sommerfeld's model was much closer to the modern quantum mechanical picture than Bohr's. In the 1950s Joseph Keller updated Bohr–Sommerfeld quantization using Einstein's interpretation of 1917, [6] now known as Einstein–Brillouin–Keller method.

  5. Copenhagen interpretation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copenhagen_interpretation

    In a 1960 review of Heisenberg's book, Bohr's close collaborator Léon Rosenfeld called the term an "ambiguous expression" and suggested it be discarded. [22] However, this did not come to pass, and the term entered widespread use. [16] [19] Bohr's ideas in particular are distinct despite the use of his Copenhagen home in the name of the ...

  6. Bohr model of the chemical bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_model_of_the_chemical...

    Model of the hydrogen molecule and its axial projection. In addition to the model of the atom, Niels Bohr also proposed a model of the chemical bond.. He proposed this model first in the article "Systems containing several nuclei" [1] - the third and last of the classic series of articles by Bohr, published in November 1913 in Philosophical Magazine.

  7. Correspondence principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondence_principle

    In physics, a correspondence principle is any one of several premises or assertions about the relationship between classical and quantum mechanics.The physicist Niels Bohr coined the term in 1920 [1] during the early development of quantum theory; he used it to explain how quantized classical orbitals connect to quantum radiation. [2]

  8. Complementarity (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementarity_(physics)

    Complementarity was a central feature of Bohr's reply to the EPR paradox, an attempt by Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen to argue that quantum particles must have position and momentum even without being measured and so quantum mechanics must be an incomplete theory. [11]

  9. BKS theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BKS_theory

    When Albert Einstein introduced the light quantum in 1905, there was much resistance from the scientific community.However, when in 1923, the Compton effect showed the results could be explained by assuming the light beam behaves as light-quanta and that energy and momentum are conserved, Niels Bohr was still resistant against quantized light, even repudiating it in his 1922 Nobel Prize lecture.
