According to the Bohr model of the atom, electrons orbit the nucleus in definite

Question

According to the Bohr model of the atom, electrons orbit the nucleus in definite orbits of well-defined energies and radii. According to the laws of classical physics, this model would be impossible because
(A) the positively charged nucleus attracts the electrons            
(B) Coulomb's law applies
(C) there is a centripetal force on the electrons
(D) accelerating electrons radiate energy  
(E) angular momentum is conserved

First, pick the best response, and then explain WHY classical physics says that the phenomenon is impossible.

Explanation / Answer

D) accelerating electrons radiate energy (By maxwells law)

and after losing energy continously they will end up in collapsing the structure.So continous orbiting of electrons are impossible
