hi~everybody
i want to know why the eletrons in atoms and molecules behave more like waves than like particles?:?::-?
 

I think it is matter of interpretation in quantum physics. Theory offers certain approach, so in ths case theory says electrons interpreted as waves give better solutions on molecular or atomic scale than the particle approach shows.
Remember that there is the equivalence between particles and particle waves, best for electrons.

Thank you for your help.But i can't understand the equivalence between eletrons wave and particle.(i am just a newbie ) Can you explain it more detailed.thank you
 

The concept of equivalence was introduced by Louis de Broglie. Find any textbook on quantum theory where it ix explained in detail.
