We have discussed the quantum particle model for the case of a free particle solution in the one-dimensional Klein-Gordon nonlinear equations. This model was obtained through the two equations from the conservation laws of the classical physics, namely, the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the relativistic motion and continuity equations. In this case, the Hamilton-Jacobi equation describes a part of the particle while the continuity equation describes the wave side. The derivation of this equation did not use the two postulates in the quantum mechanics, namely, the Einstein and de Broglie’s postulates regarding the quantization of energy and momentum. According to this derivation, the particle side has almost most of the energy of quantum particle that accumulate at a point while the wave part has only a small portion of the energy of the quantum particle that surrounds the part of the particle. In addition, this paper also shows the form of mathematical functions that represent the particle and wave parts for a free particle solution. This form is obtained through a special solution of the free particle which is a plane-wave solution.
