Bohr model.
Explanation: The Bohr model (1913) postulates electrons move in specific, quantized orbits around the nucleus with fixed energies (for hydrogen: E_n = −13.6 eV / n^2). The modern electron cloud (quantum) model replaces fixed paths with probability distributions, and "Einstein’s model" does not describe atomic electron orbits.
