Which of the following is one of the postulates of Rutherford's theory?

1. Electrons continuously lose energy
2. Electrons move in a spiral path around the nucleus
3. Electrons revolve in a specific path around the nucleus
4. Electrons revolve in a stationary orbit

Correct answer: Electrons revolve in a specific path around the nucleus

Solution

Rutherford’s atomic model described a small, dense nucleus with electrons revolving around it in specific paths. The other choices describe later ideas or incorrect behaviors not part of Rutherford’s postulates.
