MAIN DRAWBACK OF RUTHERFORD EXPERIMENT
DRAWBACK OF RUTHERFORD EXPERIMENT:

1.The orbital revolution of the electron is not expected to be stable. Any particle in a circular orbit would undergo acceleration.

2.During acceleration,charged particles would radiate energy.Thus,revolving electrons would lose energy and finally fall into nucleus.If they were so, the atom would be highly unstable and hence matter would not exist in the form that we know.We know that atoms are quite stable.
