Rutherford Atomic Model:
Ernest Rutherford, a British scientist
conducted an experiment and based on the
observations of this experiment, he explained
the atomic structure of elements and proposed
Rutherford’s Atomic Model.
Rutherford’s Alpha Scattering Experiment
Rutherford conducted an experiment by
bombarding a thin sheet of gold with α-
particles and then studied the trajectory of
these particles after their interaction with the
gold foil.

Limitations of Rutherford Atomic Model
Although the Rutherford atomic model was based on
experimental observations, it failed to explain certain
things.
1. Accelerated charged particles emit electromagnetic
radiations and hence an electron revolving around the
nucleus should emit electromagnetic radiation. This
radiation would carry energy from the motion of the
electron which would come at the cost of shrinking of
orbits. Ultimately the electrons would collapse in the
nucleus. Calculations have shown that as per the
Rutherford model, an electron would collapse into the
nucleus in less than 10 -8 seconds. So the
Rutherford model was not in accordance with
Maxwell’s theory and could not explain the stability
Rutherford Atomic Model of an atom.
Rutherford Atomic Model:
2.One of the drawbacks of the
Rutherford model was also that he did not
say anything about the arrangement of
electrons in an atom which made his
theory incomplete.
3.Although the early atomic models were
inaccurate and failed to explain certain
experimental results, they formed the
base for future developments in the world
of quantum mechanics.
