Lexie Buck · Answer 1

the RutherFord atomic model has the limitations in explaining the stability of the atom and the stability of the electron.

Explanation:

As we know basically the atom comprises of the positively charged proton and negative charge electron and no charge neutron. In these particles, electron revolves with the nucleus as a centre in the orbit with the different energy levels. So by this revolving action, there will be the loss of energy and thus electrons are to be falling into the nucleus which affects the stability of the electron. The atom is said to be neutral electrically if the protons and electrons are equal. So in the above case if the electrons on losing the energy if it fells into the nucleus, as a result, the stability of the atom is affected which makes the atom as ions.
