Yes, in the form of a probability wave. It's important to realize that the wave behavior of electrons in atoms isn't analogous to, say, a wave in the ocean. An electron's wave behavior is one of probability, there's no macroscopic equivalent. The probability of finding an electron at a certain location oscillates like a wave, not the electron itself.

they are useful in magnifying objects.

Who proposed the dualistic nature of light and extended this idea to electrons?
In 1924 de Broglie proposed that a material particle such as an electron might have a dual nature.
Who explained the wave nature and the particle nature of an electron?
That their was a unit of charge, for which no smaller amount of charge could exist, was first suggested in the late 1800s. In 1896, J.J. Thomson showed that a negatively charged particle was a fundamental particle of nature -- ie, that electrons had a particle nature. Louis de Broglie, in his 1924 thesis, suggested that electrons also had a wave nature, with a wavelength dependent on a particle's momentum. Experiments in 1927 showed that he was correct.
Which subatomic particle allows chemical bonding to occur?
electrons electrons
What is the negatively charged atomic particle of atom called?
Electrons
Which type of particle in the atom is in orbits?
the electrons
What does the dual nature of electrons mean?
it behaves as a particle and as a wave
The french scientist Louis de broglie theorized that?
electrons could have a dual wave-particle nature
Why can't light be classified as a separate particle with wave and particle nature?
Not sure what you mean, as the photon is classified as a separate particle. Light, like electrons, sometimes displays particle characteristics and sometimes displays wave characteristics.

What are the proofs of the particle nature light?
The particle nature of light is illustrated by the photoelectric effect.
Which particle is not in the nucleus?
the electrons
Proofs of the particle nature of light?
Albert Einstein's Photo-electric effect is one of the proof of the particle nature of light. The experiment on the wave particle duality is another proof pf the particle nature of light.
Which phenomenon demonstrates a particle nature of light?
The particle nature of light is illustrated by the photoelectric effect.
A molecule is the neutral particle formed when?
A molecule is the neutral particle formed when electrons are shared between atoms. The charge is neutral when electrons are shared, negative when they gain electrons, and positive when they lose electrons.
What is an electrically charged particle?
electrons
What particle did Thomson discover?
Electrons
