Question

Write the drawbacks of rutherford's nuclear atomic model

Answer 1

Rutherford's model of the atom described a dense, heavy, positively charged nucleus surrounded by negative electrons that balance out the charge of the atom. He also concluded that the atom is mostly made up of empty space.

Rutherford wanted to test the accepted theory of his day proposed by JJ Thompson where the atom was considered a round mass made of negative and positive charged particles all mixed together, called a plum pudding model.

He bombarded a thin sheet of gold with positively charged particles (alpha particles were used) to see if they would pass straight through the foil as expected. However some particles bounced back from the foil or passed through at an angle (were deflected), suggesting the gold atoms were not a homogeneous mix of positive and negative.

I hope its helpful ✌✌✌

Answer 2

Hii

______________

Drawbacks of Rutherford's model of atom

Rutherford proposed that electrons revolve at a high speed in circular orbits around the positively charged nucleus. ... Eventually the electron would fall into the nucleus. The result would be that the atom would collapse.
