Question

what are the limitation of rutherford atomic model?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Rutherford's model was unable to explain the stability of an atom. According to Rutherford's postulate, electrons revolve at a very high speed around a nucleus of an atom in a fixed orbit. However, Maxwell explained accelerated charged particles release electromagnetic radiations.

Answer 2

Answer:

The following are the drawbacksof Rutherford atomic model.

1) inability to explain the stabilityof atom

2) inability to explain the concept of electronic configuration and energy levels of shell

3) inability to explain the properties of atoms to form molecule.
