When the electrons revolve round the nucleus, they are
continuously accelerated towards the centre of the nucleus. According to
Lorentz, an accelerated charged particle should radiate energy
continuously. Therefore, in the atom, a revolving electron should
continuously emit energy and hence the radius of its path should go on
decreasing and ultimately it should fall into the nucleus. However,
electrons revolve round the nucleus without falling into it. Therefore,
Rutherford’s atom model cannot explain the stability of the atom.
If the Rutherford’s atom model is true, the electron can revolve in orbits of all possible radii and hence it should emit continuous energy spectrum. However, the atoms like hydrogen possess line spectrum
