Can wave nature of electrons be explained by the repulsion between them???

Question

Imagine a stream of electrons passing through space.The interaction between the electrons can cause them to get xcited.Inorder to minimise this some go up & some come down.But interaction between them causes them to come down which in turn causes the ones down to come up.Thus causing wave motion.

Answer 1

That was the theory, for a little while.

Then they did this experiment and the universe proved to be really, really creepy because electrons still act like waves when there are no other electrons to repel:

They are YTMNDs, but the facts are right and in a form comprehensible to mortals. Its so weird and creepy you just have to watch this and I won't even try to explain it.

Answer 2

I think you are trying to ask whether the wave theory of matter can explain the electrostatic charge on electrons.

The answer is no. The wave theory does not address electrical charge, only mass equivalence. On the other hand (not meaning to be confusing), moving charges (such as that carried by electrons) will produce electromagnetic radiation if they are accelerating.

Answer 3

Look at this link that I send you. It is very nicely explained even for not very advanced students. If you want not to read all this, i give you the answer. Absolutely NOT. It was the genius of Bohr to imagine the move of electrons around the kernel and it seemed so strange that at first glance , his ideas were bad received
