Neils Bohr constructed a theory of atomic structure based on quantum ideas because:

line spectra data showed that when an element was heated only specific wavelengths of light were produced

lab data showed that all elements emit continuous spectra when heated

he showed that electrons could be energized

he showed that once electrons were energized they could never return to their previous energy level
