Sweets With Sammy: Introduction

In order to continue on with this lovely spree of alliteration I've got going on, I'm going to add to the fun by introducing a new topic: science. While the science behind Dalton's atomic model and Rutherford's nuclear atomic model are admirable to say the least, my true passion lies with easily my favorite Danish physicist: Niels Bohr. His contributions to the understanding of the atom forever changed science and has impacted the science community so remarkably that I've chosen to dedicate a whole blog series to him (control your excitement). In order to pay tribute to Bohr's native country of Denmark, I've decided to bake a red velvet cake, just as bright as the bold red on the country's flag.

 
 
Just like baking a cake, Bohr's planetary atomic model has a set list of "ingredients" that makes it unique:
 
1) Unchangeable energy levels
2) Rydberg/Bohr's Formula
3) Atomic Spectra
4) Electrons gaining/losing energy
 
I'm off to bake a cake, but I'll return soon with delectable desserts and even more fun Bohr's model facts to share!
