Charles Zi Britannia (nprofile…ss4z) it's particle wave duality. like photons, electrons exhibit wave like behavior (like passing through two slits) and quantization to discrete energy states.
when the energy level of an atom changes, it does so in discrete steps corresponding to the "orbitals" or energy bands, which you can think of as a field, but if so it's a very structured field that gives off an event, which behaves like a particle- but only when you "observe" it (or another particle "observes" it) collapsing the wave function
