... Rutherford had just discovered the nucleus of the atom from analysis of his team's gold foil experiments. Niels made the main breakthrough by proposing that the orbital momentum of an electron in orbit around a nucleus is quantized, so that it can only jump from one allowed orbit to another, and not spiral steadily into the nucleus. The energy associated with these ... the line spectrum of the hydrogen atom. His explanation of the line spectrum of the hydrogen atom led Bohr formulate his famous principle of complementarity. This principle holds that the electron could be regarded in two...
