Electrons are attracted to the positively charged protons. The nucleus displaces an amount of space proportional to it’s energy. The positive field of the nucleus pulls the electron toward it. The increased value of compression of space around the nucleus prevents the electron from reaching the nucleus. The space is too compressed for the electron to travel. As the nucleus gets bigger (more protons) the pull on the electron is greater and the electron will travel through the greater compression created by the larger nucleus. Each electron displaces enough extra space to prevent the passage of another electron through the space existing outside of the first electron, which is also aided by the decrease in the strength of the positive field around the nucleus as the distance from the nucleus increases. The regularity with which the displaced space is distributed causes the regularity with which the electrons are arranged. Suppose each level represented a level of compression. The compression for each level would range from 100% compressed to 0% compressed for each value of space. The inner radius of the first level’s shell depends on the radius of the nucleus. The first level houses the highest compression value that the energy can support. When the compression of that value reached 0% it has become 100% of the next lowest compression value. This begins a new level.
