What are the limitations of Rutherford's model of the atom ?

Explanation

This model was not according to classical theory of electromagnetism proposed by Maxwell. According to this theory, every accelerated charge particle must emit radiation in the form of electromagnetic radiations and hence loses its energy. Since energy of electron keeps on decreasing, so radius of circular orbit should also decrease and ultimately the electron should spiral into nucleus. It suggests that the atom should be unstable. This discrepancy could not be explained at that time with the help of Rutherford’s model.
