Shouldn't it gain energy as it's accelerating?undalay said:I realse his model had problems.
I am just trying to understand why his model was flawed.
His model would collapse due to the electron spiraling into the nucleus, however I dont understand why the electron loses energy.
Charity F said:... thus they don't lose energy while orbiting? i.e. no EMR is released, because that would be a loss of energy, thus the electron would spiral gradually towards the nucleus, and go BOOM.

If no EMR is released, it could theoretically orbit forever? Why would it gradually spiral?
It would only gradually spiral if it lost energy (speed) thus gonig BOOM
but if it didnt, it never would.
That's not true on both counts; only a charged object undergoing acceleration will emit EMR.When an object undergoes acceleration it emits EMR - we are not required to know why
Huh? Maxwell and Planck were different scientists ...Charity F said:um woops sorry, didn't express myself properly. i meant that if it did release EMR, it would loose energy. but i failed to notice that it would accelerate, which would cancel each other.
sorry, my bad.
To answer your previous question:
"maxwell", aka. Max Planck, considered to be the founder of Quantum Theory. (thus being the theories of maxwell). Black body raditation, etc.
Edit: Where's Deanie? He could answer this more clearly.
