they orbit the nucleus repulsed by same charges and pulled in by the nucleus

That is explained easily by the Heissenberg's uncertainity principle.

I can explain with a contradiction.

See, we know the radius of the nucleus is 10^-15m (approx), so supposing the electron is in the nucleus , the uncertainity in finding the position, ie Dx is 2*10^-15 because it will be in the nucleus. now apply the formula

Dv = h/(4*pi*m*Dx)

where Dv is uncertainity in velocity, h=plank's constant, Dx is uncertainity in position,

u get that Dv is approx 5*10^8m/s ie the uncertainity in velocity is more than the speed of light.

We get that the electron's speed can be more than the speed of light

Since we know that no thing can possibly exceed the speed of light, hence electrons cannot 'live' inside the nucleus.

Hope this solved ur problem

first of all because it just doesn't

I mean people have looked and thats the way it is.

secondly

it is due to the fact that electrons are negatively charged while protons are positivly charged so they repel each other and aren't going to be near each other.

protons and neutrons are heavier than electrons so they tend to sit in the middle and just do their thing while the electron disrupts into a cloud surrounding the nucleus
