Solution

The statement that is part of the currently accepted atomic model is: "An atom is made up of electron clouds with different energy levels that surround a nucleus." This is known as the quantum mechanical model of the atom. It describes the behavior of electrons in an atom as a cloud-like region around the nucleus where the electrons are likely to be found. The other statements are outdated models or incorrect.
