Solution

Electrons do not fall in nucleus because every orbit or the path in which an electron revolves has a constant energy and an electron must be supplied external energy to jump to the next orbit because orbits are not only spiral paths but hold some energy in them and according to it electrons revolve. So, they do not get collapsed since they have opposite charges.
