Electrons do not crash into the nucleus because they are constantly in motion and are held in orbit around the nucleus by the electromagnetic force. This force keeps the electrons at a certain distance from the nucleus, preventing them from colliding with it.

What particles might be found in shells around a nucleus?

The particles found in the area surrounding the nucleus are called electrons. Electrons are attracted to the protons in the nucleus, but are repelled from other electrons. This is why they can be found orbiting the nucleus.


Are the number of electrons in the nucleus of an atom that element's atomic number?

There are no electrons in the nucleus of an atom, the electrons are in the orbitals around and outside the nucleus.There are no electrons in the nucleus of an atom, the electrons are in the orbitals outside and around the nucleus.


What were the shortcomings of Bohr's model of the atom?

Rutherford stated that electrons orbits the nucleus. Thus if the electrons were orbiting the nucleus then they must be accelerating due to the centripetal force acting on it. This proved to be a flaw, due to Maxwell theory that electrons accelerating produces EMR which in turns would mean the electrons would loose energy and crash into the nucleus leading to a unstable atom. Which is not the case.
