the limitations to Rutherford atomic model are two: the revolution of electrons around the nucleus in a circular
orbit cannot hold, because according
classical electromagnetic theory , the accelerating electrons must radiate
energy anytime it revolves round he nucleus, if this should happen the atom
will collapse in a period of 10-8 seconds. classical electromagnetic
theory have it that anytime accelerating particles like electrons revolving
round a nucleus radiate energy. and the 2nd drawback the model fail
to expain the stability of the atom.
