State limitations of Rutherford’s model of the atom.

Answer

Drawbacks of Rutherford's model:
1. This was not according to the classical theory of electromagnetism proposed by Maxwell. According to this theory, every accelerated charged particle must emit radiations in the form of electromagnetic waves and lose its total energy.
Since energy of electrons keep on decreasing, so radius of the circular orbits should also decrease and ultimately the electron should fall in nucleus.
2. It could not explain the line spectrum of H-atom.
