Light is created and destroyed in electron transitions in the atom.
The list of differences goes on. Yet, both electron and photon are at the heart of modern quantum mechanics with both described by wave and particle behaviour. The wave behaviour is demonstrated by the similarity of electron and X-ray diffraction. The particle behaviour is illustrated by the photoelectric effect with photon incidence on a solid surface leading to electron ejection. The electron is negatively charged and is deflected by an electric or magnetic field.
