(Development leading to Bhor Model of an atom.)
Answers
Answer:
Rutherford's Planetary Model:
Rutherford's model of the atom describes the electron's movement around the nucleus like they are planets revolving around the sound. However, this contradicts Maxwell's theory and thus his student Niels Bohr corrected it by describing the electrons as moving in fixed quantized energy levels.
Answer and Explanation:
The answer is a. orbiting the nucleus, changing direction, and thus giving off energy, the electrons would lose all energy and collapse into the nucleus.
According to Maxwell's electromagnetic theory, moving charges emit radiation thereby losing energy. Charges that move in a circular orbit accelerate even if the speed is constant since the direction is changing which means that they lose energy by emitting it as radiation so in theory they must collapse into the nucleus. This is corrected by Bohr by saying that the electrons occupy quantized orbits with fixed size and energy and that radiation can only occur as these electrons jump from one orbit to another.
