Electrons, although classically considered to be particles, can be shown to bahave like waves as well. This is extremely important as it allows a whole new apporach to analysiing the behaviour of electrons. The so-called two-slit experiment demonstrates the wave-like properties of the electron:

• The Two-Slit Experiment

Once we have seen that electrons can behave like waves, we can begin to derive their properties:

• Electrons as Wave

• Schrödinger's Equation

• Implications of Wave-Particle Duality
