The Bohr model of the atom, proposed by Niels Bohr in 1913, is a simplified model that describes the structure of the hydrogen atom. It postulates that electrons orbit the nucleus in discrete energy levels or orbits, and can only transition between these orbits by absorbing or emitting specific amounts of energy in the form of photons. The model successfully explained the spectral lines of hydrogen but was later superseded by quantum mechanics.
