### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Rutherford's Model**: - Rutherford proposed that an atom consists of a small, dense nucleus surrounded by electrons that revolve around it in circular orbits. This model was based on his gold foil experiment. 2. **First Limitation - Stability of the Atom**: - According to classical physics, any charged particle that is in circular motion (like the electron in Rutherford's model) is undergoing acceleration. As a result, it should radiate energy continuously. - If the electron radiates energy, it would lose energy and spiral inward towards the nucleus. This would lead to the atom becoming unstable, as the electrons would eventually crash into the nucleus. ...
