Answer:

I think That answer above me is wrong. Because electron don't really spin around nucleus in circular orbits. Instead we can only predict their positions. With this, we can then assume as the electrons fluctuate to the degree that we can only predict their existence at a particular point, that they won’t just ‘crash’ into the nucleus.

and plus if electron is revolving around nucleus in circular orbits then it must be accelerating . And accelerating charged particles emit electromagnetic radiations.

So, if an electron ( obviously a charged object) would be doing a circular motion around a nucleus, the direction of its velocity would be changing, therefore it would radiate out energy, therefore it would loose energy, which means it would spiral down to the nucleus.

Effectively they are too light to the point that they effectively fluctuate above the nucleus - this is what enables them to overcome the electrostatic charge that would otherwise cause them to collapse into the nucleus.
