Abstract
The quantization of the electron orbits in the Bohr atom is revisited. The toroidal electron model, in which electron charge is described by Schwinger electromagnetic wave orbiting the electron mass, offers a natural explanation for the orbit quantization. As a consequence, the four Bohr postulates can be directly derived from the toroidal electron structure. A physical meaning for the Rydberg constant is also proposed.
