Rather than constructing an atomic model based on the idea that electrons ... Heisenberg decided to develop an innovative theory of motion, a ‘quantum mechanics’ in which electrons could ...

His model of the atom, built upon quantum theory, fundamentally altered the way scientists viewed the atom, providing a coherent explanation for atomic stability, spectral lines, and the ...

Photo: Niels Bohr's research notes for his new atomic theory Rutherford's find ... Bohr turned to Planck's quantum theory to explain the stability of most atoms. He found that the ratio of energy ...
