Q: What prevents the electrons from falling into the nucleus of their atom? What opposes and balances that electrostatic attractive force?
A: The centrifugal force of the electron?s orbital motion opposes and exactly balances the electrostatic attractive force.

buzz No, I'm sorry, but thanks for playing. If this were true the electron would radiate away all the energy and spiral into the proton very quickly. The average lifespan of the hydrogen atom would be about a microsecond. You're only about 23 orders of magnitude off.
But the main problem with your hypothesis is, as Kaptain K pointed out, centrifugal force is not a force. It appears you need a refresher on centrifugal force; try
here. Have phun.
