Solution

In according to recent mechanics, the electron will not radiate energy if it is in stable energy level. But to be attracted by the nucleus and fall on it,. electron has to radiate energy(lose energy) which is not possible. Hence electron will not fall on nucleus. This theory is applicable to atoms as well as molecules (VSEPR) theory.

Q. If opposite charges attract each other, then why does an electron revolve around the nucleus of an atom rather than just falling into the nucleus? In other words, why do electrons revolve around a nucleus and are not attracted to it?

Q. According to the electromagnetic theory of Maxwell when a charged particle moves under the influence of attractive forces loses energy continuously in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
So so if the electrons move around the nucleus in circular orbits all the electrons should fall into the nucleus which leads to instability of the atom.
Then how are molecules formed from these unstable atoms?
