- 1In the ground state of Rutherford's model, electrons are in stable equilibrium, while in Thomson's model electrons always experience a net force.
- 2An atom has a nearly uniform mass distribution in Rutherford's model but has a highly non-uniform mass distribution in Thomson's model.
- 3A classical atom based on Rutherford's model is doomed to collapse due to continuous electromagnetic radiation from accelerating electrons.✓
- 4The positively charged part of the atom possesses most of the mass in Rutherford's model but not in Thomson's model.
Correct answer
A classical atom based on Rutherford's model is doomed to collapse due to continuous electromagnetic radiation from accelerating electrons.
