Answer:
(i)
According to classical electromagnetic theory, a moving charged particle, such
as an electron under the influence of attractive force loses energy continuously
in the form of radiations. As a result of this, electron should lose energy and
therefore, should move in even smaller orbits ultimately falling into the
nucleus. But the collapse does not occur. There is no explanation for this
behaviour.
(ii) Rutherford did not specify the number of orbits and the number of electrons
in each orbit,
