Question
What was the main objection to Rutherford’s model of atom?
Solution
Rutherford proposed that the electrons revolve around the nucleus in well- defined orbits.But, electron is charged particle any charge particles during acceration radiate energy circular orbit would undergo acceleration. Thus, the revolving electron would 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.
