A particle is an object that has a position, momentum,  mass, kinetic energy, and an electric charge. On the other hand, a wave has wavelength, intensity, energy, frequency, velocity, amplitude, and momentum. A particle can be localized whereas on the other hand a wave cannot be localized as it is spread out and occupies a large position of space.
