Best Answer

because the electric field of the nucleolus is radially symmetrical.

And if you really want to get picky, the electron doesn't move in a circle but occupies a spherical probability continuum with indeterminable position and velocity.

Why doesn't an electron land on and stick to the nucleus of an atom?

One could explain that in a "classical" way by saying that the electron moves around the nucleus much the same way that planets move around the sun. The planets want to naturally move along a straight line but is prevented from doing so by the pull of the sun. In the same way, electrons would, if left to itself, move along a straight line. However, the attraction from the positive nucleus makes them move in a circular path. In a sense the electron falls down toward the nucleus instead of moving along a straight line. Santosh
