Drawbacks of Rutherford's atomic model:
Electrons accelerate and as they revolve in orbit. After that, they fall into the . If this happened, the atom would no longer be stable, and the matter would no longer exist in the way we know it. Atoms are known to be . Thus, Rutherford's model failed to explain the stability of the atom.
