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
