What was Niels Bohr's major contribution to atomic structure?

  • Bohr Model

  • Rutherford Model

  • Plum Pudding Model

  • Wave-Particle Duality

Answer

Niels Bohr's major contribution to atomic structure was the development of the Bohr Model. In this model, he proposed that electrons revolve in stable orbits around the atomic nucleus and can jump between discrete energy levels. Although it has been replaced by more advanced models, the Bohr Model's principles remain valid.
