Or in other words which forces keep electrons in orbitals and prevent it from flying away or crashing into the nucleus according to modern understanding?

    This video by TKo explains it very well https://youtu.be/xINR4MoqYVc

    The electron orbits are quantized, with a lower limit. As found by Neils Bohr. Classical theory would have the electron attracted into the nucleus in a tiny fraction of a second. His theory was not liked at the time and he faced a lot of push back, but they eventually accepted it as it’s true.
