Why do we say that electron behaves as both particle and wave?

The energy of an electron is concentrated at a point, like it is particle. And electron propagates likes a wave.

So, when it travels like a wave and at the same time it interacts like a particle.

One of the famous experiments that shows the wave-particle duality of electron is the Double-slit experiment.

The Illustration diagram is given below for more, clear understanding.
