The given statement is false.

The electrons have both wave and particles like properties. It was postulated by De Broglie that electrons have wave nature and suggested that all the matter exhibit wave characteristics. This concept is called the De Broglie hypothesis.

Like all the elementary particles, the electrons possess the characteristics of both waves and particles, in the sense that they can collide with other particles and be diffracted like light.
