what is the drawback of rutherford model?
kapilkunnu:
Drawback of Rutherford's Nuclear Model of Atom... For this, Rutherford gave the explanation that electrons revolve around the nucleus in a spiral path. This too is not satisfactory because in following a spiral path, energy is lost by the electrons and ultimately they will fall into the nucleus, but atoms are stable.

rutherford has a drawback that as the nucleus and electrons are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction, it would lead to the fusion of the nucleus with elecrons. This does not happen in atom. For this ruthorford gave gave the explination that electrons revolve around the nucleus in spiral path which is also not satisfactory as in a spiral path energy is lost by the electrons and ultimetely fallinto nucleus, but atoms are stable.
