The stronger force (by a factor 100 or so) comes from simple electrostatic interaction between electrons and nucleus, or between electrons.
You must also remember that the nucleus and every electron has an internal magnetic momentum (the spin) this raises some magnetic force terms.
What really happens is a much more complicated quantum phenomenon, involving also the theory of relativity (especially for heavier atoms)

Electrons do not revolve around the nucleus. They buzz around with no predeliction to direction, only a high probability of being near the atom, and a low, but non-zero, probability of being someplace far from the atom. They are bound by the electric force.

The force of electrical attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charge electrons.

simple electromagnetic forces. You have a negatively charge particle and a focused concentration of positive charges. The electron is constantly falling toward the nuclei same as satellites do as they orbit the earth. Just their velocity in the other direction is such that they never reach the center.
