Hey there,
According to Rutherford’s model of an atom, electrons revolve around the nucleus as planets revolve around the sun. But, electrons revolving in circular orbits will not be stable because during revolution, they experience acceleration. Due to acceleration, they will lose energy in the form of radiation arid fall into the nucleus. In such a cases the atom would be highly unstable and would collapse.
Hope this helps!

According to Rutherford’s model of an atom, electrons revolve around the nucleus in fixed orbits.
But, an electron revolving in circular orbits will not be stable because during revolution, it will experience acceleration.
Due to acceleration, the electrons will lose energy in the form of radiation and fall into the nucleus.
In such a case, the atom would be highly unstable and collapse.
