Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) A classical atom based on Rutherford's model is doomed to collapse.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Rutherford, \(e ^{-}\)revolves around nucleus in circular orbit. Thus \(e ^{-}\)is always accelerating (centripetal acceleration). An accelerating change emits \(EM\) radiation and thus \(e ^{-}\) should loose energy and finally should collapse in the nucleus.
