Answer:
Limitations of Rutherford's atomic model:
1. Rutherford’s model was unable to explain the stability of an atom.
2. The electromagnetic radiation will have energy from the electronic motion as a result of which the orbits will gradually shrink. Finally, the orbits will shrink and collapse in the nucleus of an atom.
3. Rutherford’s theory was incomplete because it did not mention anything about the arrangement of electrons in the orbit. This was one of the major drawbacks of Rutherford atomic model.
