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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Limitation or Drawbacks of Rutherford.s model of the atom. The orbital revolution of the electron is not expected to be stable. Any particle in a circular orbit would undergo acceleration. During acceleration, charged particles would radiate energy. Thus, the revolving electron would lose energy and finally fall into the nucleus. If this were s, the atom should be highly unstable and hence matter would not exist in the form that. We know However we know that atoms are quite stable.
