Niels Henrik David Bohr Introduction What was your world like? Bohr married Margrethe Nørlund in 1912. He had a very good marriage, resulting in six sons, but unfortunately two of the boys died as children. The other four had successful careers of their own. My children are Hans Henrik (doctor), Erik (chemical engineer), Aage (PhD, theoretical physicist) and Ernest (lawyer). He received a Nobel Prize in 1922 for atomic structures. When did you live? He was born October 7, 1885 http://histclo.com/bio/b/bio-bohrn.html Where did you live? He lived and grew up in Copenhagen, Denmark, in a civilized and loving family. http://histclo.com/bio/b/bio-bohrn.html What was your family life like? Mother: Ellen Adler came from a wealthy Jewish family famous in Danish banking and was also involved in politics. Father: Christian Bohr, born in 1855, earned a doctorate (the highest degree awarded by a college or other accredited educational body) and was professor of physiology at the University of Copenhagen and was known for his work on physical and chemical aspects of breathing (Respiration). He received his medical degree in 1878http://dwb.unl.edu/Teacher/NSF/C06/C06Links/207.138.35.143/nobel/macro/5000_79.htmlWhat other notable world events have occurred during your lifetime? During his life he lived through the First and Second World Wars. Bohr had to leave Germany in the 1940s because the Nazi secret police wanted to arrest him for being Jewish. After leaving the country, he was told about the Manhattan Project and was enthusiastic about working on it. What contributions in general have you made? Bohr's theoretical work contributed much to middle of paper...... which could cause harm to people, so Bohr stopped working on the atomic bomb to endorse atomic energy. From the discovery of the structure of the atom, other scientists discovered that splitting the nucleus created a massive amount of energy estimated at around 200 million volts. Later, scientists discovered how to collect all this energy which led to the invention of nuclear energy and power plants, which now account for 6% of the amount of energy produced today https://sites. google.com/a/cssstudent.com/bio-of-niels-bohr/how-did-niels-bohr-affect-us-todayHow has your work helped our understanding of the world? How did he influence future scientists? Who was influenced? He was one of the most influential people and influenced a German named Werner Heisenberg, a friend of collage, who was one of the most important developers of quantum theory in the world. 1920
