Q

Defects of Rutherford’s atomic model?

A

Any particle in a circular orbit undergoes acceleration. During acceleration, charged particles 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.

Q

what are shells?

A

According to Bohr’s atomic theory, the electron in an atom revolves around the nucleus in one of the circular paths called shells or orbits. Each shell has a fixed energy. So, each shell is also called an energy level. Each shell is described by an n value.
