He understood the importance of quantum theory (and used it to explain the electromagnetic radiation produced when elements are excited when heated to high tempeatures or by being placed in discharge tubes).

Niels Bohr made significant contributions to atomic structure by proposing the planetary model of the atom, where electrons orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels or shells. He also introduced the concept of quantized energy levels and explained the stability of atoms based on the balance between the centrifugal force of electrons and the attraction of the nucleus. Bohr's model formed the basis for our current understanding of atomic structure.
