Nope.  QM states things have properties of both waves and particles, not
that they are both waves and particles.

QM is too complicated to explain in a Usenet post.  Go read a book.

Nope.  The orbital with an electron in it is a standing wave.

Don't put words in my mouth.  Especially totally crap words like that.
Electrons are predicted to be fundamental, with no structure.  Every
attempt to measure its size shows it to be smaller than the resolution
of the test, consistent with the predicted zero size.  Same with structure,
attempts to look for structure find none whatsoever.

Realizing that you have a problem is the first step in resolving the
problem.
