The main reason is that it said that electrons orbited the nucleus in a fixed path. In the quantum mechanical model, electron orbitals are defined by the probablility of where an electron is most likely to be, because according to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, it is impossible to know the exact location of an electron at any given point in time.

1.) Electrons do not have distinct molecular orbits.
2.) You can never know the position and momentum of a given particle.
3.) Wave-Particle duality of nature
4.) How does an electron decide what frequency it is going to vibrate at when it passes from one stationary state to another? It seems to me that you would have to assume that the electron knows beforehand where it is going to stop.
5.) How do you explain spectral lines for hydrogen corresponding to half-integers?

worked for hydrogen only not for others.
he said something was spherical like the shape
he didnt understand light as dual particles(light and wave,de broglie)
