No -- an electron is a point particle with mass, charge, and spin.
The probability that you will find an electron at a specific point can, however, often be calculated by wave functions.
Any moving mass can be considered either a particle or a wave. Its properties can be defined via the deBorlie wave equation.
A standing wave can tell you about the resonant frequencies of a system. It is formed when a wave reflects back on itself and interferes constructively or destructively. The nodes and antinodes of a standing wave provide information about the wavelength and frequency of the wave.
The wave function of a single electron in the universe describes the probability distribution of finding the electron at a given position and time. It is a mathematical function that contains all the information about the electron's quantum state. The wave function evolves over time according to the Schrödinger equation.
Electrons in an electron wave move in a wave-like manner, oscillating as they travel through a material. These movements are governed by the wave nature of particles, described by the principles of quantum mechanics.
A guitar string vibrating at its fundamental frequency (first harmonic) is an example of a common standing wave. The fixed ends of the guitar string create nodes, and the string vibrates in segments with antinodes in between.
There Are No Such Things As Standing Waves In Atoms.All Waves are Particles. Man's knowledge of Waves in quantum mechanics has been clouded by the fact that a Wave is simply the 2 dimensional view of a Particle's 3 dimensional helix orbit.EinsteinGravitydotcom
The electron itself isn't a wave, it's the probability of finding it in a certain spot that's governed by a wave equation.

According to Louis de Broglie, an electron is best represented by a wave-particle duality, meaning that it exhibits both wave-like and particle-like properties. This concept is known as wave-particle duality.
standing wave
When an incoming wave combines with a reflected wave in such a way that the combined wave appears to be standing still the result is a standing still wave.
standing wave!

A standing wave requires a relative motion of the medium at the same velocity of the wave
The amplitude of a standing wave is the maximum displacement of a point on the wave from its equilibrium position. It represents the height of the wave at its peak.
The result is a standing wave. Standing waves are created by the interference of two waves of the same frequency traveling in opposite directions and have points along the medium that appear to be vibrating in place.
