Drawbacks of Rutherford’s Model

Rutherford’s model suffers to major drawbacks. 1. Stability of Atom: According to Maxwell, an accelerated charged particles emits radiation(energy). In Rutherford Model of atom, electrons are moving in circular orbits, Thus having centripetal acceleration. So electrons should emits radiation and ultimate lose energy and pulled into nucleus and atom would not be stable. So Rutherford […]
