Orbit Case #2 Visualization:   Description of Events:  
    In this case, the electron is emitting electromagnetic radiation as it orbits the nucleus. As its charge decreases, the amount of radiation present becomes insufficient for the electron to maintain stability in its orbit. Therefore, the positive charge of the nucleus begins to attract the electron, and the electron spirals in.
