I suppose there is a difference

Yes, I see your point. But, as I said earlier, we no longer take the energy levels as input for the Bohr model, although Bohr himself might have done that once. What we do say, though, is that angular momentum is quantized. With this prerequisite, discrete energy levels are as well an output from the Bohr model.

Electrons are supposed to be particles even though they dont behave same as the normal particle we are used to

Of course electrons are particles. But they're waves, too, in every sense. In quantum field theory, which is the most successful theory so far for the whole matter, electrons are nothing but filled modes in momentum space.
I don't know exactly what you meant with Penrose, but I don't know a physicicst who sais that electrons cannot be described as waves.

I agree, at least for us laugh

Maybe I should stop looking for physical discussions around here. Seems to kill topics wink
