One of the most successful scientific theories is the theory of the
atom. Predictions of the energy levels of electrons orbiting the nucleus
agree with experimentally derived values. Neils Bohr was the first to
provide a workable atomic theory. With refinements and adjustments provided
by deBrolie, Heisenberg, Pauli, and others, the physical basis of chemistry
is very well understood. Atomic theory explains the electromagnetic
spectrum of elements, and atomic and molecular bonding.
