#atomic_theory.scientific_theory__atomictheory  a theory of the structure of the atom
  supertype:  scientific_theory  a theory that explains scientific observations; "scientific theories must be falsifiable"
  part of:  nuclear_physics
  subtype:  Bohr_theory  (physics) a theory of atomic structure that combined Rutherford's model with the quantum theory; electrons orbiting a nucleus can only be in certain stationary energy states and light is emitted when electrons jump from one energy state to another
  subtype:  Rutherford_atom  first modern concept of atomic structure; all of the positive charge and most of the mass of the atom are contained in a compact nucleus; a number of electrons (equal to the atomic number) occupy the rest of the volume of the atom and neutralize the positive charge
