Drawbacks of Rutherford’s model of the atom

The orbital revolution of the electron is not expected to be stable. Any particle in a circular orbit would undergo acceleration. During acceleration, charged particles would radiate energy. 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 … Read more

RUTHERFORD’S MODEL OF AN ATOM

Ernest Rutherford was interested in knowing how the electrons are arranged within an atom. Rutherford designed an experiment for this. In this experiment, fast moving alpha (α)-particles were made to fall on a thin gold foil. But, the α-particle scattering experiment gave totally unexpected results. The following observations were made: In the words of Rutherford, “This result was … Read more
