Why do the electrons stay circling around the nucleus if they are not connected?
I am not quite sure what you mean with "not connected"; the electron is attracted, via the electrical force, to the nucleus. This is the "connection" that keeps it there - as long as there is no stronger force to pull it away.
Why the inner most electron is not completely attracted towards the nucleus?
The orbit of an electron around an atomic nucleus is in some ways comparable to that of a satellite (such as the moon) around a planet (such as the Earth) although it is also very different, in some other ways. Why does the moon not crash into the Earth? Because it has a certain amount of angular momentum which keeps it in orbit (although not forever; given enough billions of years, eventually the moon will crash into the Earth). Electrons also have energy, which is similar to the momentum of an orbiting satellite, which keeps them in orbit, so that they don't just crash into the nucleus. But that too is not an absolute; there are some circumstances in which the electron does fall out of orbit and collide with the nucleus, in which case it combines with a proton forming a neutron (which is a form of radioactive decay, transforming the atom into a different element). As electrons gain energy (by absorbing photons) they move into higher orbits; when they lose energy (by emitting photons) the fall into lower orbits.
What is the negatively charged particle that spins around the center of an atom?
an electron. :) and protons are positively charged and chill out in the Nucleus. The Nucleus also includes Neutrons which are, go figure, Neutral charge. So the negatively charged electrons orbit the Nucleus and inside the nucleus are Protons - positive - and Neutrons - neutral. In fact, what keeps the electrons orbiting is the fact that opposite charges are attracted to one another, so the negatively charged electrons are attracted to the positively charged Nucleus. (the nucleus is positive because it's made up of positive particles - protons - and neutral particles - neutrons - so the overall charge is positive.) :) Hope this helped.
How do Mars' moons stay in their orbits around Mars?
The answer is the same for the moons of Mars as it is for any orbiting object. Angular momentum keeps them up, and gravitation keeps them from flying away. Those are the two balanced forces.
What force keeps the moon in orbit around the sun?
The force of gravity that they exert on each other, and the velocities of the Moon and Earth which is their "inertia".
In an atom the electrons travel around the nucleus somewhat like a satellite orbits the earthThe force that keeps the electron in orbit is the?
The force that keeps electrons in orbit around the nucleus is called the repelling force of gravity. If there was no gravity the electrons would never stay in orbit but would be floating around in space.
Why is the electron in hydrogen not collide with the proton and self destruct.?
electrons are in orbits protons are in nucleus an electron keeps revolving in the orbit because of force of attraction but this electron cannot come into the nucleus where proton and neutron reside.

Elliptical orbit around the sun due to what force?
Gravity keeps everything orbiting around the Sun.
Does gravity keep earth in its orbit?
Yes; the sun's gravity keeps the Earth orbiting around it.

How do planets stay in orbit around the moon?
the moon orbits around the planet, not the other way around; gravity keeps it orbiting

Why do electrons and planets spin instead of just falling into the sun or nucleus?
Electrons in orbit around a nucleus, and planets in orbit around the sun both have energy which keeps them in orbit. In the case of a planet, that energy is in the form of angular momentum. In the case of an electron the energy is a form of electromotive force. In either case, if the energy is not great enough to maintain the orbit, the planet or electron will fall out of orbit. This is not often seen in the case of planets, but is fairly common in the case of electrons; when an electron falls into the nucleus, it causes a form of radioactive decay.
Is the force that makes an apple fall the same force that keeps the earth orbiting around the sun?
Yes - the same gravity that makes the apple fall from the tree - keeps the earth in orbit around the sun.
What is the purpose of the planets orbiting around the sun?
the purpose is the gravitational pull wich keeps the planets and stars from drifting apart
What keeps particles in nucleus together?
Strong force keeps particles in a nucleus together.
