u/behind_you_right_now 16 My brother wants to know: Why don't electrons collapse toward the positively charged protons in the nucleus of an atom? 198 Reply u/sundialbill Bill Nye 16h Magic.. No wait. It's the nature of atomic forces. Start by noticing that it must somehow be more complicated than electrons in orbit. If it were that way, they'd spiral into the nucleus and be annihilated The move in "orbitals" rather than orbits.
