See note below...

Explanation:

The biggest limitation is Rutherford's Postulates did not define electron configurations of the atom and therefore limited the application when describing chemical bonding. General conclusions as to space, mass and volume specifications proved to be accurate with respect to the 'average' atomic structure.

=> 1 Avg Atomic Diameter = ##10^-13 meter => 1 Avg Atomic Diameter = 100,000 Nuclear Diameters => 1 Avg Nuclear Mass = 99.973 Wt % of [atomic mass](https://socratic.org/chemistry/a-first-introduction-to-matter/atomic-mass-and-isotope-abundance) => 1 Avg Atomic Volume = #1xx10^15# Nuclear Volumes
