Quantum mechanics (specifically the Schrodinger Wave Function) often makes reference to the most probable position of "The Electron" in an atomic orbital.
However, if the electron is actually a particle wave that extends all the way around the nucleus, it seems like the electron would be anywhere along the complete wave length. So does the term "the electron" refer to the place where the charge density is at the maximum value of the wave function?
