Answered by Khushwant23

Rutherford's model has the drawbackthat as the nucleus and electrons are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction, it would lead to the fusion of the nucleus with electrons. ... For this, Rutherford gave the explanation that electrons revolve around the nucleus in a spiral path.

Drawbacks of Rutherford’s model

(i) It does not obey the Maxwell theory of electrodynamics, according to it “A small charged particle moving around an oppositely charged centre continously loses its energy”. If an electron does so, it should continuously lose its energy and should set up spiral motion ultimately failing into the nucleus.

(ii) It could not explain the line spectra of H- and discontinuous spectrum nature.
