Expert Answer
Drawbacks of Rutherford’s Model of an Atom
- Rutherford’s atomic model could not explain how moving electrons could remain in their orbits.
- Any charged particle during acceleration would radiate energy, and while revolving, it would lose its energy and eventually fall into the nucleus.
- This means that the atom would be highly unstable.
- But, matter is composed of stable atoms.
- Thus, the major drawback of Rutherford’s atomic model was that it could not explain the stability of atoms.
