Electron density is the measure of the probability of an electron being present at a specific location. In molecules, regions of electron density are usually found around the atom, and its bonds.

What do you call the density of an electron cloud?
The density of an electron is its mass divided by its volume. The rest mass of an electron is approximately 9x10-31 kg. The size, however, is much more difficult to determine as an electron is not a rigid ball - instead it is more like a wave, with diffuse edges. An approximate accepted size for an electron is 5 × 10-13 m, giving a it volume of 5x10-37m3. These figures give a density for the electron of approximately 1700 tonnes/m3, a density that is 154 times that of lead
What is the electron cloud density an indication of?
electron cloud density is a criteria for suggesting availability of electrons in that area.
What name is given to a region of an electron probability density graph where the probability of finding the electron is zero?
The region of zero electron density is called a "node."
Why do silicates have low density?
why do silicate materials have low electron density
How do you determine electron density given atomic density?
The electron density is simply deduced from the atomic density as follows : if ne denotes the electron density and na the atomic density then : ne= z na with z being the number of valence electron per atom.
What is between atoms?
electron probability density.
If the volume of a proton is similar to the volume of an electron how will the densities of these two particles compare?
Proton mass = approx. 1,850 x electron mass.If volumes are similar, then proton density = approx. 1,850 x electron density.
What is meant by valency orbit and valency electron?
A valance electron is one that is associated with an atom. The valence orbit is the one that electron travels in.
What do the denser areas of an electron cloud represent?
The denser parts of an electron cloud mean that there is a probability that there is an electron in that area. An area that has little density is less likely to have an electron in the area.
What has the author L F McNamara written?
L. F McNamara has written: 'Ionospheric D-region profile data base' -- subject(s): D region, Ionospheric electron density, E region 'A comparative study of methods of electron density profile analysis' -- subject(s): Ionospheric electron density
What is meant by density in water?
temp and pressure
What is electrophilic center?
It's an area of low electron density, and can be caused, for example, by an incomplete octet. Areas of high electron density are called nucleophilic centres.
