electron has dual nature. so how does an electron move from one atom to another, like a wave or a particle?

there r thre ways of bonding

ionic bond- in which e is given by one atom to the other example HCL

covalent bond - in which two atom or more than two atom share e b/w them eg. COOH , COOCHO etc

coordinate bond or dative bond - this is a type in which sharing and transfer both happen eg. H(NO)3 U KNOW O have lone pair on them this lone pair is fully get transferred to N

now, there are various rules by which u can find which type of sharing will take place

like VSEPER THEORY ,BROWNSTED LOWRY CONCEPT ,FAIZAN'S RULE

SO THESE ARE THE WAYS IN WHICH E e- GET TRANSFERED

EVERY mechanical problem is discrete at some level. True continuity (as a mathematician defines it) doesn't exist in nature. The illusion of continuity begins to appear at the macroscopic level.

So the answer to the question is discrete (electrons are down in the realm where quantum mechanics rules). To answer how requires a little more detail about the problem. Electrons bounce between atoms or are shared in many ways in many different kinds of bonding. What exactly happens in a metal is different than a covalent bond is different than an ionic bond.

Edit response to additional info: an electron is neither a particle nor a wave. It has some features that we associate with a particle (discrete chunk of energy), and others that we associate with a wave (can't be pinned down to a single point in space--position governed by a differential equation).

I can't really give you anything better than that until you can state a more specific question. Unfortunately, this probably means you have to learn a lot just to speak the language that lets you properly formulate the question. If you honestly want to understand what's going on, you're going to have to go to college, take math up through differential equations, take several courses in basic physics, and then a modern physics and a quantum (atomic) physics course. If you just want someone to tell you about the gist of it without the specific details, read a book like Gribbins "In search of Schrodinger's cat"
