The emitted energy causes the electron’s orbit to decay gradually, eventually resulting in the electron falling into the nucleus.
What consequence does the emission of energy due to acceleration have on the electron’s orbit?

The emission of energy due to acceleration causes the electron’s orbit to decay, leading to its spiral into the nucleus in classical physics. This contradicts the observed stability of atoms and prompted the development of quantum mechanics.
