Question

(c) Mention any two drawbacks of Rutherford’s model.​

Answer 1

$\huge{\fcolorbox{white}{lightgreen}{{\footnotesize{{ \color{white}{\checkmark} \: }}}{\huge{Answer}}}}$

Rutherford atomic model failed to explain about the stability of electrons in a circular path. As per Rutherford's model, electrons revolve around the nucleus in a circular path. Eventually, electrons should lose energy and fall into the nucleus. And this points to the instability of the atom.❤

Answer 2

Drawbacks of Rutherford Atomic Model

As before, the Rutherford atomic model was also challenged and questioned by many. Rutherford atomic model failed to explain about the stability of electrons in a circular path.

As per Rutherford’s model, electrons revolve around the nucleus in a circular path. But particles that are in motion on a circular path would undergo acceleration, and acceleration causes radiation of energy by charged particles. Eventually, electrons should lose energy and fall into the nucleus. And this points to the instability of the atom. But this is not possible because atoms are stable. Hence, Rutherford failed to give an explanation on account of this.
