Verified Correct Answer: A.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The Bohr model is a model of the atom that describes electrons as orbiting the nucleus in specific energy levels. This model was developed by Niels Bohr in 1913 and it is based on the work of Max Planck and Albert Einstein. The Rutherford model, the Thomson model, and the Dalton model are all older models of the atom that are not as accurate as the Bohr model.
