Question

Demerits of rutherford model

Answer 1

Answer:

This atomic model failed to explain stability of atoms. According to the model, electrons revolve around the positively charged nucleus. It's not possible for a long run as we know atoms are stable while any particle in a circular orbit would undergo acceleration.

Answer 2

Answer:

1: Rutherford atomic model does not explain the stability of the atom.

2: Rutherford atomic model does not explain the line spectrum of the atoms.

3: Rutherford's atomic model does not say anything about the electronic structure of atoms i. e. distribution of electrons around the nucleus and does not tell about the energies of electrons.
