    The atomic model is a model of the atom.

    Dots around the atom? I guess you mean the electrons. As you said, the electrons go around the atom.

    Hi Unknown,

    I guess it depends on the age of the student. Do they still teach the old, 'solar system' model of an atom in high school?

    Indeed.
    It can be the nucleus-electrons model, or for some history purposes, how the discoveries went by, they even go back to the Dalton model, where the atom is a ball containing positive and negative parts together only, as later proven wrong by the Geiger-Marsden experiment conducted by Rutherford, etc.
