From very elementary chemistry I understand that atoms are mostly empty space, with a few tiny little objects whizzing around.
There must then be a vacuum in between these particles. I always thought that nature abhorred a vacuum, and rushed to fill it.
Why doesn't everything clump together in one little ball and get rid of the vacuum? Or are my premises wrong?
Answer
I think what you are asking is why electron do not fall in nucleus.
For this you should have general idea of quantum mechanics. Because in the microscopic world nature follows quantum mechanics equations and not classical mechanics equations. Quantum mechanics equations include electromagnetic fields, and their solutions are stable and allow for the existence of atoms, which is what we experimentally observed to start with.
This is general idea of answer given to question physics stack exchange. You can see the detailed answer over in Physics S.E..
This Link will explain diffrent theories which failed to explain why electron do not fall in nucleus.
