Niels Bohr was a famous physicist born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1885. He accomplished many things in his life some of which include, winning a Nobel Prize in physics for his quantum mechanical model of the atom and developing the “liquid drop” model. Bohr was always interested in science even at a young age. He went to Gammelholm School for his primary and secondary education in 1903. Bohr then went on to receive his doctorate from the University of Copenhagen in 1911. One of Bohr’s most renowned accomplishments was his contribution to the atom. He discovered that the atom was a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons that travel in circular orbits around the nucleus. Most physicists run experiments in order to come to
