Created the first accepted model of the atom?

Democritius's model of the atom-that it was an indivisible-was accepted for quite a long time. However in 1940 the layout of the electrons, protons and neutrons were worked out by Maria Goeppert-Mayer, Eugene Wigner etc. so a model that the questioner is probably imagining as the 'accepted one' could be created. However since the electrons, protons and neutrons are made of quarks-discovered in 1964, another model of the atom was discovered.
