Dec 13, 2019 at 21:02 comment added Maurice Electrons do fall on the nucleus. But they cannot do anything with the proton. They cannot form a particle like the neutron. The neutron has a mass which is significantly higher than the mass of a proton plus the mass of en electron. So the electron stays as near as possible to the proton, but it cannot do anything with it.

Mar 31, 2016 at 6:50 comment added M.ghorab We cannot observe the electron without photons to (to see it by human eye) or radiation ( to at least detect it ) and both of these probes interfere with the electron in it's state of the electron gun but not in the ground state in the atom.
Mar 31, 2016 at 3:24 comment added user5764 And for why electrons don't fall to nucleus; this can be traced to the uncertainty principle; electrons can't get too localised for then the uncertainty of momentum would be very high- that means there might be chance of the electron having very high kinetic energy and getting ejected.
Mar 31, 2016 at 3:14 comment added user5764 Firstly, electrons don't switch between particles and waves; that's a major misconception. Electron is neither wave nor particle. Waves are not real but are of mathematical construct; they impart probability amplitude of finding the electron at a certain coordinate at a specified time. When you measure, you are collapsing the wavefunction into Dirac-Delta function; even after a minute time-interval, the wavefunction again starts to evolve according to the Schroedinger's equation. Electrons don't move in orbits like solar system; we don't need centripetal force.
