The landmark paper laying the Bohr model of the atom and molecular bonding published in 1913.
First edition of Bohr's seminal main work, which constitutes the departure from classical theories; by incorporating Planck's quantum postulate it became possible to calculate the wavelength of the hydrogen emission and thus to explain the regularity of the Balmer-lines. Niels Bohr won the 1922 Nobel Prize in Physics for the work “On the constitution of atoms and molecules”, which was issued in 3 parts. He was awarded "for his services in the investigation of the structure of atoms and of the radiation emanating from them.
