what are the limitations of Rutherford model of the atom
Answers
Explanation:
Postulates of Rutherford
(1) +ve charge is concentrated in the centre of the atom
called nucleolus.
(2) Electron revolved around the nucleus in circular
paths called orbits.
(3) The nucleolus is much smaller in size than
the atom.
Prawbavle of Rutherford's model
(1) The orbital of the electron is not expected to be
stable
(2) According to Rutherford's model the electron while
moving in their orbit would give up energy
This would make them slow down, gradually
and move towards the nucleus. The electron
will follow a spiral path and then fall
into the nucleus. ultimately the atom would
collapse. But in reality the atom is stable.
limitations::
Most of the space in an atom is empty.
The space occupied by the positive charge is tiny.
The positive charges and mass of the atom were concentrated in a minimal volume within the atom.
The centre of the atom is called the nucleus.
Electron spin around the nucleus in a circular path
