The modern-day quantum model of the atom is better than John Dalton’s model because it

The modern-day quantum model of the atom known as the wave mechanical model depicts that the electron was a three dimensional wave circling the nucleus in a whole number of wavelengths allowing the waveform to repeat itself as a stable standing wave (it can absorb energy form a nearby source which is oscillating at a proper frequency) representing the energy levels of Bohr model.
