Answer:
The draw backs or limitations of Rutherford's model are
(i) Any charged particle when accelerated is expected to radiate
energy. To remain in a circular orbit, the electron would need to undergo
acceleration.
Therefore, it would radiate energy.
Thus, the revolving electron would lose energy and finally
fall into the nucleus. If this were so, the atom should be highly unstable.
Therefore, matter would not exist, but we know matter exists. It means that
atoms are quite stable.
(ii) Rutherford's model could not explain the distribution of electrons
in the extra nuclear portion of the atom.
