Niels Bohr

Niels Bohr received the Nobel Prize in physics in 1922 for the quantum mechanical model.1

The key constituent of the Bohr atomic model is the energy of the electrons are restricted to certain discrete values; that is, the energy is quantized. This means that only certain orbits with certain radii are allowed; orbits in between simply don't exist.
