How does the present day model of the atom DIFFER from the Rutherford’s model? How does the present day model of the atom SIMILAR to Rutherford’s model?

The present day model shows a nucleus composed of protons and neutrons with cloud-like spheres of different diameters surrounding the nucleus to represent the energy levels of the electrons in the atom. Rutherford's model shows electrons orbiting the nucleus along fixed, but similar- diameter circular paths.

Both models show the composition of the nucleus at the center of the atom and the much smaller electrons at some distance from the nucleus.

Explanation:

Neither of the models does a good job of representing the relative size differences of the protons, neutrons and electrons, or the distance between the nucleus and the "electron clouds."
