Contributions To Physics and Chemistry
- The Bohr model of the atom, the theory that electrons travel in discrete orbits around the atom's nucleus.
- The shell model of the atom, where the chemical properties of an element are determined by the electrons in the outermost orbit.
- The correspondence principle, the basic tool of Old quantum theory.
- The liquid drop model of the atomic nucleus.
- Identified the isotope of uranium that was responsible for slow-neutron fission – 235U.
- Much work on the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics.
- The principle of complementarity: that items could be separately analyzed as having several contradictory properties.

Famous quotes containing the words contributions to, physics and/or chemistry:
“The vast material displacements the machine has made in our physical environment are perhaps in the long run less important than its spiritual contributions to our culture.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
“The pace of science forces the pace of technique. Theoretical physics forces atomic energy on us; the successful production of the fission bomb forces upon us the manufacture of the hydrogen bomb. We do not choose our problems, we do not choose our products; we are pushed, we are forced—by what? By a system which has no purpose and goal transcending it, and which makes man its appendix.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“For me chemistry represented an indefinite cloud of future potentialities which enveloped my life to come in black volutes torn by fiery flashes, like those which had hidden Mount Sinai. Like Moses, from that cloud I expected my law, the principle of order in me, around me, and in the world.... I would watch the buds swell in spring, the mica glint in the granite, my own hands, and I would say to myself: “I will understand this, too, I will understand everything.””
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
