What happens when electrons collide circling an atom?

So atoms have electrons circling a nucleus right? Is that right, “circling?” How fast do they make the trip? Anyway, to the real question…
Electrons revolving in the same shell must collide occasionally, no? I mean they have lots of opportunity.
So what happens when that occurs? Is there energy transferred somewhere, or do they pass through each other as waves?
