In rutherford's model of the atom, he could not answer why the negatively-charged electrons do not bump or stick to the positively-charged nucleus of the atom. How did Bohr solve such problem with his view of the atom? what did he propose

Answer:
Rutherford's model of atom was wrong because the presence of electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. When this model was applied to atoms other than hydrogen it did not work. Electrons do not move around the nucleus in circular orbits.
Rutherford's model was unable to explain the stability of an atom. According to Rutherford's postulate, electrons revolve at a very high speed around a nucleus of anatom in a fixed orbit. Therefore,Rutherford atomic model was not following Maxwell's theory and it was unable to explain an atom's stability.
To remedy the stability problem, Bohrmodified the Rutherford model by requiring that the electrons move in orbits of fixed size and energy. The energy of an electron depends on the size of the orbit and is lower for smaller orbits. Radiation can occur only when the electron jumps from one orbit to another.
