Answer:

Drawbacks of Rutherford Atomic Model

As before, 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 atom. But this is not possible because atoms are stable. Hence, Rutherford failed to give an explanation on account of this.

Answer 2

$\boxed{<u> </u><u>ANSWER</u><u> </u>}$

Drawbacks of Rutherford model of atom are :–

1). Rutherford model of atom says that electron moves around the nucleus in the circular path but it could not explain the energy level or shells

2). It does not explain the stability of the atom.

3). According to the electromagnetic theory of physics if a changed particles undergoes accelerated motion than it must rediate energy.
