This is the answer.

I hope this will help you.

Answer 2

Rutherford Nuclear Model of Atom

It is based upon a particle scattering experiment. Rutherford presented that:

=> Most part of the atom is empty.

=> Atoms possesses a highly dense, positively charged centre, called nucleus of the order $\sf{10^{-13}\;cm.}$

=> Entire mass of the atom is concentrated inside the nucleus.

=> Electrons revolves around the nucleus in circular orbits.

=> Electrons and the nucleus are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction.

Drawbacks of Rutherford's Model of Atom

=> According to electromagnetic theory, when charged particle accelerated, they emit electromagnetic radiations, which COD||E by electronic motion and thus orbit continue to shrink, so atom unstable. It doesn't explain the stability of atom.

=> It doesn't say anything about the electronic distribution electrons around nucleus.
