Question

Write two important limitations of rutherford nuclear model of atom

Answer 1

1. entire positive charge is located in centre and electrons are embedded in this centre

2. number of electrons are just sufficient to maintain the electrical neutrality of the atom

Answer 2

Hey !!

1. According to Rutherford model, electron orbiting around the nucleus, continuously radiates energy due to the acceleration, hence the atom will not remain stable.

2. An electron spirals inwards, it's angular velocity and frequency change continuously, therefore it will emit a continuous spectrum.

Good luck!
