Give two drawbacks of Rutherford's atomic model.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Drawbacks of Rutherford's atom model :
1) As the revolving electron loses energy continuously, it must spiral inwards and eventually fall into the nucleus. But matter is stable, we can not expect the atom collapse.
2) The atoms should emit continuous spectrum, but what we observe is only a line spectrum.
