Schrodinger and Heisenberg Model. There is a key point about the Bohr model that is no longer accepted in current models of the atom. In the Bohr model, the electrons are still thought to orbit the nucleus just like planets orbit the sun. Actually, this is something that we can not say is true.

U r right bro but the idea of planets around the sun is of Rutherford experiment

Schrodinger and Heisenberg Model
There is a key point about the Bohr model that is no longer accepted in current models of the atom. In the Bohr model, the electrons are still thought to orbit the nucleus just like planets orbit the sun. Actually, this is something that we can not say is true. The problem with atoms and electrons is that we humans except them to obey the same rules as things like baseballs and planets. Actually, the rules are the same, but baseballs and planets follow the rules of quantum mechanics without us humans even noticing.
It turns out that we can't really say anything about the trajectory or position of electrons in an atom. What we can say is all about probabilities. We can say what regions an electron is likely to be. Here is a diagram that might help. These are probability distributions for the different energy levels in an atom
Hope it Helps
