How does an electron act like a wave as well as a particle?

Answer 1

The electron is a particle, not a wave. I am a scientist and engineer in a premier Indian research centre. I do not accept the de-Broglie theory as true. Many electrons and protons together form waves. But this does not mean that a particle can behave like a wave. Many theories of the last five centuries will be refuted soon. Do not waste your time delving into them. You will get at nothing.

Answer 2

♥ just be patient! At proper moment you’ll be ready for understanding, and your teachers will explain it to you! just be patient now!
▬ sorry mate! I should have looked in your profile before answering!
This phenomenon concerns all elementary particles; the less mass the more particle/wave dualism is observed; some experimental data in nuclear physics cannot be understood otherwise than ascribing wave properties to electron; Eg, position of an electron and its speed on subatomic level cannot be defined exactly but with a certain tolerance only; mathematically it looks Δx*Δv = const; for big masses const=0;

Answer 3

Electron is a negatively charged particle that moves along a wavy curved line.

Answer 4

it acts as a particle in the atomic structure but its impossible to identify its exact location which gives rise to its wavy nature. The thoery comes from heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

Answer 5

sorry but this question still plague physics.
