What are the limitations of Rutherford model of the atom?
According to Rutherford model, there is a positively charged centre in an atom called the nucleus and the electron present in nucleus revolve aroun it, in well- defined orbits. But, since an electron is charged particle. Thus, while revolving around the nucleus it lose energy and finally fall into the nucleus. If this were so, the atom should be highly unstable and hence matter would not exist in the form that we know.
