Subject: Electron-nucleus attraction

 Hello, I have a question over which I have inquired
with no further insight. We all "know" that unlike
charges attract, and that an atom can be considered
as a positively charged nucleus surrounded by the
negatively charged electrons. Now, to my question:
if electrons and protons attract to each other,
why aren't electrons found all cluttered around
the nucleus. Is it because of Heisenberg's uncertainty
principle? (I mean,if they were to be found within a
specific region close to the nucleus, then we would
know their position very accurately, which implies
the uncertainty in the momentum would be very large,
and they would then have enough velocity to overcome
the attraction)

 Please do tell me if I err in my reasoning, and why.
Thank you for your time.

                               Best regards
