all says electrons rounds the nucleus and revolves in its own axis if so in which direction electrons rounds the nucleus?

Atoms have orbital angular momentum L. Its direction may give you some idea about how electrons move around the nucleus (with all quantum mechanical caveats about quantization of L).

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
