4) Explain Rutherford's model of atom. Write its
advantages and limitations.
Answers
Answer:
The model described the atom as a tiny, dense, positively charged core called a nucleus, in which nearly all the mass is concentrated, around which the light, negative constituents, called electrons, circulate at some distance, much like planets revolving around the Sun.
advantage
1) rutherford discovered the prescence of nucleus in atom by his experiment. 2) Rutherford assumed that most of the atom is hallow and small centre point called nucleus. 3) he imagined that electrons revolve around nucleus like planets around sun.
limitations
The drawback of Rutherford model is: It can't explain the stability of an atom. As per the model, the orbital revolution of electrons around the nucleus is not stable as the revolving electrons in orbits will undergo acceleration and emit energy.
Answer:
Rutherford's model was inadequate to explain the stability of an atom. It did not mention anything about the arrangement of electron in the orbit.
