This model this model was the first to show a nucleus, consisting of protons and neutron.  Electrons surround the nucleus but are not shown in distinct energy levels. 

• The "Rutherford Model" of the atom
• The "Plum Pudding Model" of the atom
• The "Quantum Mechanical Modell" of the atom
• Democritus's model of the atom

This was the first model of the atom ever proposed. It was simple and described atoms as tiny spheres that could not be broken down into smaller pieces.

• Democritus's model of the atom
• The "Plum Pudding Model" of the atom
• The "Rutherford Model" of the atom
• The "Quantum Mechanical Model" of the atom
