The Bohr Model of the atom defines electrons orbiting the nucleus much like planets orbit a star. The location of the electron orbitals were at discrete energy levels above the nucleus.
The Rutherford Model defined the atom as having a dense indivisible nucleus surrounded by a diffuse electron cloud with no defined organization of electron behavior.
