<p>I have a few quick questions.</p>
<li><p>What experimental design did Niels Bohr do that led to his planetary model of the atom?</p></li>
<li><p>What observations were made?</p></li>
<li><p>What conclusions were made?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Did Bohr actually perform an experiment? I can’t seem to find it. Also, how do number 2 and 3 differ from each other? They seem the same to me.</p>
<p>Observations = what you see in an experiment, conclusions = what you deduce from what you see.</p>
<p>So let's say I decided to stick a cube of sugar in water and heat it up. After taking it out of the microwave, my observation is I can't see the sugar in the water anymore. My conclusion (what I deduce) is that the sugar must have dissolved.</p>
<p>I always thought Bohr was the theoretical guy...but I suppose I'm wrong.</p>
<p>I agree. His theories start to get confusing after a while. The principle of uncertainty is just weird. Good luck with your project!</p>
<p>So he didn't do the "actual" experiment. He just came up with the planetary model from what his counterparts have done and created this model which incorporated all these ideas?</p>
