In Rutherford's model of the atom the electrons had a circular motion around the nucleus. By the laws of physics, if something is going in a circular motion then it must be accelerating and a particle that accelerates is losing energy. This means that the electrons that are revolving around the nucleus would eventually fall into the nucleus. Nucleus would eventually collapse. This does not happen therefore the Rutherford model was put aside.

∙ 10y agoRutherford's model wasnt acceptable because :
1- it could not explain why electrones which are negative dont collapse into positive nucleus.
2- it could not explain the arrangement of electrones.
3- it could not explain the atomic spectra of the hydrogen.

Which model of the atom was supported by the gold foil experiment?
The Rutherford model, or the nuclear model
Which scientist developed a model of the atom that looked like a nucleus surrounded by electrons?
The scientist that developed the iconic atom model that depicts a nucleus surrounded by electrons was Ernest Rutherford. Rutherford developed the model in 1911 after displaying some experiments that showed that the J.J.Thomson model was incorrect. Rutherford's experiment showed that an atom is a small but heavy central particle and is surrounded by a cloud of electrons. This was the opposite of what Thomson's model proposed.
Why was the Rutherford model significant?
We eat mangoes because
Who created the nuclear model of an atom?
Ernest Rutherford
What is the difference between a Rutherford model a Bohr model and a Cloud model?
no one knows it is very upsetting
Were there problems with Rutherford gold foil experiment?
yes there were problems withn rutherford's model but i dont know the problem
Describe bohr model and how it differ from Rutherford model and how it is similar to Rutherford model?
any model on bohr model
How is the Bohr model better than the Rutherford model?
Bohr formulated new explanation and theories to remove Rutherford defect in Rutherford atomic model thats why Bohr atomic model is better than Rutherford atomic model.
What nickname did Rutherford's theory receive?
Rutherford's theory is known as the Rutherford model or Rutherford atomic model. It describes the structure of an atom as a dense positively charged nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons.
Which scientist developed atomic model?
The modern atomic model is elaborated by Niels Bohr.
Whose model was called planetary model of the atom?
its was Ernest Rutherford who proposed the planetary atomic model
Who discovered the nuclear model?
Ernest Rutherford created the nuclear model of an atom!
Who atomic model determined that an atoms positive charge is concentrated in the atoms center?
This is the Rutherford model.
How was bohrs atomic model similar to Rutherford's model?
atoms
What early theory of atomic structure described electrons as moving around a central nucleus similar to the solar system?
Ernest Rutherford. Added: I would think Neils Bohr here. Clarification: I think it was Rutherford. Bohr's work came after the "Rutherford Model". There are many places to read about this, eg Wikipedia " Rutherford Model". Certainly Bohr refined the Rutherford Model even before his quantum ideas for the hydrogen atom. That's why the "planetary model" is sometimes called the "Rutherford-Bohr Model."
What did ernest Rutherford?
Ernest Rutherford is perhaps best known for his model of the atom. He developed his own model, based upon his research, to replace Thomson's plum-pudding model.
What changes did Thompson and Rutherford make?
Thompson discovered the electron and proposed his "Plum Pudding" model of the atom, while Rutherford refined it, moving the electrons to shells outside the nucleus. Google "Rutherford Model" and "Plum Pudding Model" for more info
