What makes an electron “move” around an atom? Like what force actually propels it? What causes the motion?

Question

So an electron ‘moves’ around the nucleus of an atom. But what causes this motion? Is it just eternal inertia since the atoms founding?

And I don’t mean when elections change levels, I mean the actual motion of the revolution around the nucleus of the atom.

Thanks!

They actually don’t move the way you described it. It’s even weirder because the Bohr model, you’re referring to is just an aproxomation of the reality. Nowadays we know that atoms and electrons aren’t marbles that fly around each other.
