MCQ
Why was Rutherford’s atomic model unstable?
  • A
    Electrons do not remain in orbit.
  • B
    Nuclei will break down.
  • C
    The nucleus repels electrons.
  • D
    Orbiting electrons radiate energy.

Answer

  1. Electrons do not remain in orbit.

Explanation:

Rutherford’s atomic model was unstable because electrons do not remain in orbit.
