Before explaining the drawbacks of the Rutherford atomic model we can see the experiment and conclusions which he came up with
Rutherford performed an experiment using alpha particle and gold foil. most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil and there observed a deflection of alpha particles by a small angle
few alpha particles rebounded and he came up with a certain conclusion
Most of the space in an atom is empty
the space occupied by the positive charge is very small
the positive charges and mass of the atom were concentrated in a very small volume within the atom
The centre of atom is called nucleus
Electron spin around the nucleus in a circular path
sixe of nucleus is comparitively small than the size of atom
The drawbacks of this model was he failed to explain the stability of electrons in a circular path
He failed to explain about the arrangement of electrons in an atom
