That was the point, Many of these particles especially electrons don't have an agree upon size or scale length. I don't think its to literal to suggest that the model gives a false representation of an atom. For example usually these models always show the electron movement as if their is a pattern or it only goes in a set number of directions. In reality its movement is more complex then all the "models" they would have us non-scientist believe.
The way I see it the animal cell models give us a good picture of what it really looks like and how it may function.
while the popular layman atom models only tells you that these particles are really small, protons and neutrons are clustered together and the electrons orbits it like a satellite
Not to be a troll but I bet if you ask a high school graduate what color is a proton they will say red, blue for electron and white/clear for neutron.
. Models to many especially scientific models represent reality.
Their are educated people who actually believe that dinosaurs were the color that artist portray them as
.
Not to say I don't believe in evolution but we all remember this FALSE diagram from our early textbooks
This image is still in some schools textbooks to this day.

I ain't challenging the science...
Just stating an honest observation.
