Electron density, a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics, quantifies the probability of finding an electron within a specified volume. It is represented by the square of the electron wavefunction, emphasizing the probabilistic nature of electron behavior. Electron density maps depict the electron cloud, a region where electrons are most likely to reside. It provides insights into the arrangement of electrons in atomic orbitals and molecular orbitals, shaping the chemical properties and electronic structure of matter.
