4. The shading around the molecule represents the relative density of electrons shared by the atoms.

What does this indicare about the density of electrons around the oxygen atom as compared to

the density of electrons around the hydrogen atoms?

Answer :

Answer:

Oxygen is denser than hydrogen

Explanation:

Even though the images of the electron density of each atom were not shown, the electron density of each atom depends on the number of electrons present. Since we know that oxygen has eight electrons while hydrogen has only one electron.

If the density of an atom can be obtained from relative electron densities then eight electrons on oxygen is denser than hydrogen having only one electron.
