I’ve understood that electrons move in a 3D field outside the nucleus and that they are quite far away from the nucleus itself (in relation to the atom scale).

What would happen if you pushed them out of this moving field of theirs, closer to the nucleus?

      Oof, seems not to be in an ELI5-format 😅

      I believe you would need a lot of energy to push them inside its natural field. I believe that they’d just pop back to where they should be, maybe creating an explosion at the same time? Or maybe the energy needed to push them in would be so great that you’d end up with an atom-sized black hole…but I don’t really know, I only guess.

          Yes I’m aware of the cloud model.
