C.Why the atomic emission spectrum is a continous band like a rainbow
D.Why the atomic emission spectrum of hydrogen is a series of lines
E.Why the second ionisation energy is higher than the first
Explanation / Answer
ans C
The Rutherford model was a great step forward in our understanding of atomic structure but it still had its limitations. Since the electrons were in circular motion, they would be experiencing centripetal acceleration and according to Maxwell
