because it's like the moon around the earth.

i dunno how this relates to the big bang but what ive got to say is this only: that the nucleus consists of protons and neutrons. while neutrons have zero charge. protons are positively charged.. as u can see protons n electrons are oppositely charges (electrons being negatively charged) the electron cannot be stationary ,.. it is pullled towards the nucleus. however it has a certain amount of energy which gives it a lot of speed which makes it move around the nucleus. so there r 2 forces acting on the electron : one the attractive force ( centripetal force.. coz it makes the electron go around in circles .. but we know the path is not circular.. rather elliptical) and the other is due to the fast motion of the electron( centrifugal force which tries to pull it outwards... out of its orbital))
these 2 forces balance each other n that's why the electron keeps moving around the nucleus.

To be an electron,by definition,it has to orbit the nucleus of the atom.Electrons are monopoles.Take your Fluke meter affix one probe to the Cartesian junction.With the other tap various points on the spherical surface of the electron.It's always minus one.The electron sits as a dot in Cartesia down,to the left,and back one.That's when it's orbiting.The electron always orbits with the same side presented to the nucleus of the atom.If you made an electron stationary it would node,polarize and spin not orbit.(my findings)

None of them gave you the correct answer. you see dante a positive charge and a negevite attract each other so the nucleus should collapse. This is reasoning but you see when two charged particles are together columbic forces act between them as a result to be stable the electron revolves around the nucleus (seeit your self take a horse shoe magnet and ant put a charged rod in between it hang it now you see it rotating)by doing this electron gains energy but this energy should be lost with the law of electromagnetism so again two forces centripeutal and centrifugal forces act between them to keep the atom stable.so electron revolves around the nucleus

The nucleus is positively charged and electrons are negatively charged.
There fore both will attract each other. If the electrons do not have energy to nullify this attraction, all electrons will fall to the nucleus. It implies the electrons will have infinite (negative) potential energy.
But we see that electrons are easily removed from the atoms. That indicates that they do not possess infinite potential energy. But they have sufficient energy so as to keep themselves at a distance from the atom.
Depending upon the distance from the center of the nucleus, electrons possess the difference in potential energy as their kinetic energy.

electron is negatively charged and nucleus is +vely charged if electron remain stationary then both oppositively charged particle will attract each other and atom collpse...electron keep revolving around the nucleus so that the centrifugal force n centripetal force acting on it which ovecome the nuclear attraction and hence do not collide with each other

I do not know exactly why, but this is just my theory; it may be the continuatuion of the "big bang". The big bang first gave matters sudden burst of energy, and the energy is still passed onto every matter in the planet.
This is an off topic, but I believe even the warfare among the human kinds is another form of the continuous transformation of the big bang.
You don't have to buy my theory, but I just wrote down what I think about the universe.

because of the uncertainty principle of Heisenberg. If the electron was stationary, the uncertainty on its velocity would be very large, which means finally that the electron is not stationary...

is it not because a centripetel force is acting on it and centripetel force acts radially and hence it revolves round the nucleus with a fixed radius forming a circular path???
