Chemistry · Bohr model of a hydrogen atom: its postulates, derivation of the relations for the energy of the electron and radii of the different orbits, limitations of Bohr's model
Rutherford's model of atom could not hold good because:
Rutherford's model of atom could not hold good because:
- A. it did not account for the stability of an atom
- B. the atom did not have a nucleus and an electron
- C. it did not account for the attraction between a proton and an electron
- D. there is actually no space between the nucleus and the electron
Step-by-step solution
Rutherford's model described electrons orbiting a nucleus, but classical electrodynamics predicts that accelerating electrons would radiate energy and spiral into the nucleus, making atoms unstable. The model failed to explain atomic stability, which was later resolved by Bohr's model.
