Oppositely charged objects attract each other. this attraction holds electrons in atoms and holds atoms to one another in many compounds. however, ernest rutherford’s model of the atom failed to explain why electrons were not pulled into the atomic nucleus by this attraction. what change to the atomic model solve the problem seen in rutherford’s model?

Answer and Explanation:

This can be explained as in Rutherford's model of atom the electrons orbits the nucleus which means that they will travel around the nucleus with some velocity and hence radiate electromagnetic waves which results in the loss of energy due to which the electron keeps coming closer and eventually falls into the nucleus.

But Bohr came up with a better explanation as according to the Bohr's atomic model, electrons stay fixed in orbit with certain energy in different shells around the nucleus and can only jump from an energy level to another if that specific amount of energy is supplied to it.

This model is based on the quantization of energy thus giving an explanation why electrons do not fall into the nucleus of an atom.

the inner core.

good luck: )
