"It is the currently accepted atomic model."

Brief explanation: the electron-cloud (quantum mechanical) model is the modern accepted model — electrons are described by probability clouds (orbitals), not precise paths. It does not specify exact location and momentum (uncertainty principle), and it does explain emission lines via quantized energy-level transitions.
