Defects in Rutherford’s model Although Rutherford’s experiment proved that the, plum-pudding, model of an atom was not correct, yet it had following defect: 1.    According to classical theory of radiation, electrons being the charged particles should release or emit energy continuously, they should from a continuous the nucleus. 2.    If the electrons emit energy continuously, they should form a continuous spectrum but in fact, line spectrum was observed.

Thus, there is a need of some standard quantities   for measuring\comparing unknown quantities. Once a standard is set for a quantity then it can be expressed in terms of that standard quantity. This standard quantity is called a unit.        With the developments in the field of science and technology, the need for a commonly...
