Question

What are the drawbacks of rutherford model of atom

Answer 1

-The orbital revolution of the electron is not expected to be stable. Any particle in a circular orbit would undergo acceleration.Rutherford was unable to prove this statement.
-The was also unable to prove that the revolving electron would lose energy and finally fall into the nucleus.
-The was unable to prove that atoms are stable

Answer 2

The model is applicable for one electron system. .According to Rutherford as the electron revolves around the nucleus it liberate energy regularly so when the electron loses all its energy it should fall in the nucleus which was impossible. .The model does not give the objection raised by Clerk Maxwell related to continuous emission of energy by electron. .The Rutherford’s model of atom does not say anything about thearrangement of electrons in an atom.
