Bohr found excellent description of the Balmer series λ = hm 2 /(m 2 - n 2 ) n = 2, m = 3, 4, 5... and of the Paschen series λ = hm 2 /(m 2 - n 2 ) n = 3, m = 4, 5, 6... and predicted an ultraviolet series λ = hm 2 /(m 2 - n 2 ) n = 1, m = 2, 3, 4,... which was found in 1914 by Theodore Lyman Bohr also explained the series of spectral lines found in the spectrum of the star ζ Puppis as due to the ionized helium atom
”Until quite recently, it seems to have been assumed implicitly by all those who had followed the development of the electron theory that the mass of an atom was the sum of the masses of the electrons contained in it and that the number of electrons in an atom (P) was given by the expression P = A M/m where M is the mass of an atom of hydrogen, A the atomic weight, and m the mass of an electron... In the present state of our knowledge no certain statement can be attained as to the whole number of the electrons in any atom, but the conclusion that it is such that the mass of the atom is the sum of the masses of the electrons contained in it is so attractive that it seems desirable to accept it provisionally in the absence of any conclusive evidence to the contrary....” Norman R.
