The Bohr model is primarily a model of the atom rather than specifically a model of chemical bonding. Proposed by Niels Bohr in 1913, it describes the structure of the hydrogen atom and explains how electrons inhabit quantized energy levels around the nucleus. In the Bohr model, electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed paths or orbits, and each orbit corresponds to a specific energy level. Electrons can jump from one orbit to another by absorbing or emitting energy in the form of photons.
