What were the drawbacks of Rutherford’s model of an atom?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Drawbacks of Rutherford’s model of an atom:
- Any particle in a circular motion would undergo acceleration and would radiate energy. Thus revolving electron would lose energy and finally fall into the nucleus. Thus atom should be unstable and should not exist in a stable form.
- The model did not give any arrangement of electrons around the nucleus.
