Definition of Bohr theory in US English: Bohr theorynoun Physics A theory of the structure of atoms stating that electrons revolve in discrete orbits around a positively charged nucleus and that radiation is given off or absorbed only when an electron moves from one orbit to another. Example sentencesExamples - The solutions of the theory's wave equation for hydrogen match exactly the predictions of the Bohr theory.
- Along with this excellent agreement with observation, the Bohr theory has an appealing aesthetic feature.
- The Bohr theory was a marvellous success in explaining the spectrum of the hydrogen atom.
- At first some refinements to the Bohr theory seemed to account for such results, but their brightness could not be accounted for.
- It then had a major impact on having quantum theory and the Bohr theory of the atom accepted by the British scientific community.
