(N/A) Rutherford's nuclear model of an atom is analogous to a solar system where the nucleus acts as the sun and electrons act as planets.
According to classical electromagnetic theory,any charged particle moving in a circular orbit undergoes acceleration due to the continuous change in the direction of its velocity.
Maxwell's electromagnetic theory states that an accelerated charged particle must emit electromagnetic radiation.
As the electron emits radiation,it loses energy,causing its orbit to shrink continuously.
Calculations suggest that the electron should spiral into the nucleus within approximately $10^{-8} \ s$.
However,atoms are known to be stable,and electrons do not collapse into the nucleus.
Therefore,Rutherford's model fails to explain the stability of an atom.
