The wave-particle dual nature suggests that under certain conditions an electron or any other quantum entity(fundamental particle), exhibits behaviour corresponding to a wave, and sometimes a particle. A little prerequisite before I continue: A wave is an oscillation in a medium(or a vacuum), with no specific position, but moving with a certain velocity. A particle’s is a point which has a definite location is space-time, with a specific mass.
The particle nature of light was famously discovered by Einstein, through what he termed as the photoelectric effect. The effect could observed by shining light on materials(mostly metals) which resulted in the ejection of electrons. More electrons were ejected when the amplitude of the light shone was increased(increased number of photons), but the rate of emission was always constant, irrespective of the intensity of light(wavelength). This meant that light came in discrete chunks or quanta, and was not a free-flowing entity as it was previously assumed to be. This same principle could be applied to other quantum entities, including, but not limited to electrons.
