There are different models of the nucleus employed today in nuclear physics, used for different purposes, but the electron orbital model, based on quantum eigenstates, is the standard model of the atom for molecular and solid physics, its properties having already been computed to a high degree of accuracy and published. It replaces the older Rutherford and Bohr model of the atom, the former being one of electrons as satellites in orbits, the latter being one of electrons as rudimentary waves in circular paths.
