Electrons dot diagrams/Lewis Dot Diagrams show the symbol for the element surrounded by dots that show the number of valence electrons.

Bohr diagrams show the amount of total number of electrons in an element, filling each shell up until the final one.

In the thompson plum pudding model it depicts all of the sub-atomic constituents (protons, neutrons, electrons) of the atom inside a "plum pudding" looking structure which was proven wrong in a Famous radiation experiment

The Niels Bohr model was discovered when radiation was fired at gold foil, If a large amount of this radiation was deflects then the plum pudding model would be right but what they found in practice is that hardly any of the radiation deflected, but why? They concluded that the atom must have an extremely small nucleus (containing protons and neutrons) in comparison to the electrons in orbit around it.

So in a nutshell;

Plum Pudding ----> all the sub-atomic particles in the middle in a plum looking structure

Niels Bohr (standard model) ----> A nucleus made from protons and neutrons with electrons in orbit in different shells around the nucleus
