Question

What was the role of neil bohr in the modern periodic table?

Answer 1

Answer:

Niels Bohr applied his atomic theory to the periodic table of elements. He showed that chemical properties of an element resulted mainly from the behaviour of valence electrons, the electrons occupying the highest stable orbit.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The modern periodic table is also called Bohr’s periodic table because it follows his scheme of arrangement of elements (according to electron configuration).

Explanation:

In the early 1900’s, Bohr came along and developed the theory of atomic structure with electrons located in ‘shells’ (e.g., 1s, 2s, 2p, etc) and this theory was extremely helpful for understanding many things
