He proposed the Bohr model, which successfully explained the structure of atoms and the spectral lines. Bohr also introduced the principle of complementarity, which emphasizes the complementary nature of particle and wave properties in quantum systems. He was highly respected in the physics community and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922. more
