Rutherford’s model of atom: This model explained that atom consists of nucleus which is concentrated in a very small volume. The nucleus comprises of protons and neutrons. The electrons revolve around the nucleus in fixed orbits. Electrons and nucleus are held together by electrostatic forces
of attraction.



Drawbacks of Rutherford’s model of atom:

a. According to Rutherford’s model of atom, electrons which are negatively charged particles revolve around the nucleus in fixed orbits. Thus,



b. the electrons undergo acceleration. According to electromagnetic theory of Maxwell, a charged particle undergoing acceleration should
emit electromagnetic radiation. Thus, an electron in an orbit should emit radiation. Thus, the orbit should shrink. But this does not happen.


c. The model does not give any information about how electrons
are distributed around nucleus and what are energies of these electrons
