1 Answer
Solution :-
Following are the limitations of Rutherford's model of the atom:
• There is no expected stability in the revolution of the electron in a circular orbit
• Charged particles radiate energy when accelerated, thus causing the revolving electrons to lose energy and would fall into the nucleus
• Hence, atoms must be highly unstable. Matter would not exist in their known form, which clearly is an assumption, as atoms are highly stable.
