1. It could not explain the stability of an atom

2. He did not say anything about the arrangement of electrons in the atom

hence his theory was incomplete

3. Census theory was incomplete it became the base for farther development in quantum mechanics

the reason behind the limitations on Rutherford model is that

1.he was unable to explain the stability of an atom

2.he didn't specify the arrangement of electrons

he compared an atom to a watermelon

and said the red part is the space and the seeds are the electrons

although his model was a step towards the development of research
