Previous: Electrons as particles
The Bohr model of the atom provides an example where we must think
of the electron as a wave - we argued at the beginning of this chapter
that thinking of the electron as a particle fails completely. Additional
evidence for the wave nature of electrons comes in two places: electron
diffraction and in electron microscopes.
