The circular motion of an electron would require constant acceleration, leading to the emission of energy in the form of radiation.
Why isn’t the revolution of an electron in a circular orbit expected to be stable?

The circular motion of an electron would require constant acceleration, leading to the emission of energy in the form of radiation.
The revolution of an electron in a circular orbit isn’t expected to be stable due to classical electromagnetic theory, which predicts that accelerated charges emit energy, causing the electron to spiral into the nucleus.
