Answer 2

Hi there,

Limitation of the Rutherford model of an atom :

1. Neil Bohr nuclear physicist observed that Rutherford's atom should be highly unstable.

2. If the energy lost by the electrons is Continuous, the discovered spectra should be Continuous. But Practically, the loss of Energy by the Electrons are not continuous.

3. It says nothing concerning the Electronic Structure of the associated Atom.

4. Rutherford failed to explain the distribution of electrons around the Nucleus in an atom.

Hope it helped.
