DEMERITS OF RUTHERFORD ATOMIC MODEL: 1)position of the electrons:
the exact positions of the electrons from the nucleus are not mentioned.
2)stability of the atom:
Both pointed out that Rutherford's atom should be highly unstable. according to the law of electrodynamics, when a charged body moves under the influence of an attractive force,it loses energy continuously in the form of electromagnetic radiation. the electron should therefore, continuously emit radiation and lose energy. As a result of this a moving electron will come closer and closer to the nucleus and after passing through a spiral path, it should ultimately fall into the nucleus.
It was calculated that the electron should fall into the nucleus in less than 10^-8 sec. but it is known that electrons keep moving outside the nucleus.
HOPE THIS HELPS U!!! :)
