Question

Rutherfords model of failed to explain ------ of an stop

Answer 1

Answer:

Rutherfords model of atom failed to explain the stability of the atom

Explanation:

$\blacksquare$ According to Rutherford's model of atom :

1. Positively charged particles are concentrated in the centre if the atom and called it as the nucleus
2. Most of the mass of the atom was also present or concentrated at the centre
3. Electrons revolve around the nucleus in high speed circular paths

$\blacksquare$ According to Rutherford, electrons revolved in high speed circular paths

$\blacksquare$ But, particles undergoing circular motion is subjected to acceleration which in turn leads to the radiation of energy

$\blacksquare$ Eventually, due to the radiation of energy the electron will spiral down and fall into the nucleus

$\blacksquare$ This causes the breakdown of the atom

$\blacksquare$ But in reality atoms are very stable and they dont breakdown

$\blacksquare$ Hence, Rutherford atom model could not explain stability of atom
