This atomic model failed to explain stability of atoms.
According to the model, electrons revolve around the positively charged nucleus. It's not possible for a long run as we know atoms are stable while any particle in a circular orbit would undergo acceleration. During acceleration charged particles would radiate energy. Revolving electron will lose energy and finally fall into the nucleus.
This model of atom also failed to explain the existence of definite lines in the hydrogen spectrum.
