How does the density around a partial positive electron atom compare to the density of a partial negative?

The density around a partial positive is typically less than the density around a partial negative. This is due to the ionization of the ion.

What classifies something as Ionic or covalent?
When two atoms come together and form a bond, they can do so by either sharing electrons or by taking/donating them. When they share electrons, electron density is smeared out between the atoms. (You can think about an electron bouncing back and fourth between the atoms.) When an ionic bond forms, one atom gives up one electron to another. When an atom gives up an electron, it becomes positive, and when an atom gains an electron it becomes negative. When this happens, you end up with one positive atom and one negative atom. Just like when opposite ends of a magnet attract one another, so do the positive and negative atoms. These opposites attract and stick together.
What makes water polar?
In chemistry, a polar bond is a type of bond between two atoms in which electrons are shared unequally. Because of this, one end of the bond has a fractional negative while the other is positive.
What is the electron cloud density an indication of?
electron cloud density is a criteria for suggesting availability of electrons in that area.

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.
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.

The nucleus of atom can have a positive or negative charge?
I believe the Nucleus of an Atom is positively charged with a very high density.
What is meant by electron density?
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

How can you determine that a coin is not pure silver if you know the mass and the volume of the coin?
The idea is to divice the mass by the volume, to get the density. Then compare to the density of silver.The idea is to divice the mass by the volume, to get the density.

What does it mean to compare the density of an object to that of it in pieces?
It means: * Calculate the density of an object * Calculate the density of its pieces * Compare
What is the electron cloud density an indication of?
electron cloud density is a criteria for suggesting availability of electrons in that area.
The space in which electrons are likely to be found is called the?
It is called the electron cloud, the volume in which electrons are most likely to be found. This area is given by Schrodinger's wave equation, which defines psi, the wave function, which squared (psi2) is the probability density. Thus, high probability density equates high electron density. so get over it!
How do bonded atoms become partially charged?
Due to the difference in the electronegativities of the bonded atoms, the more electronegative atom attracts the shared pair of electrons towards itself, which increases the negative charge density around the attracting atom, consequently the other atom has less negative charge density and thus a positive charge density (relatively positive) gets generated at the donor atom.
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."
