An electron remains in its orbit because of electrostatic and centrifugal force. But when a reaction takes place some electrons are gained or removed. Then how they still are stable?

An electron is removed or added in outer orbitals. There is slight variation in Z_eff. but overall the total energy of electron - proton system remains negative which makes the electron bounded around the nucleus.
