  Electron density - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Electron density is the measure of the probability of an electron being present at a specific location.
In atoms, regions of electron density are usually found around the atom, and its bonds.
Electron densities are sometimes probed with X-ray diffraction scans, where X-rays of a suitable wavelength are targeted towards a sample and measurements are made over time to represent, probabilistically, where electrons can be found.

 ROCO Electron density: definition
According to this point of view, the electron density is a number that tells us how much charge is located at each point in the cloud.
A wave function assigns a number to each point in space, and the numbers oscillate so that they are positive at some locations and negative at others (this behavior may remind you of the way a water wave can make a lake's surface rise at some points and fall at others).
The following picture is a graph of the electron density in a water molecule.

 UCLA PBPL - Free-Electron Laser - FEL Amplification
When electrons are bunched together in a distance that is short compared to the wavelength of the radiation, they emit in phase, thus increasing the intensity in the emitted line and simultaneously reducing its width.
If the electrons have the resonant velocity or are close to it, the interaction with the radiation field results in a sinusoidal modulation of the electron energy.
The electrons emit in phase and the radiation is coherent.

The valence shell of the carbon side of the O has a rather distorted shape because of the electron withdrawing effect of the oxygen.

The behavior of electrons in solids depends upon the distribution of energy among the electrons:

 Electron density modification with Solomon
One should realise that the solvent will have a mean electron density which is very similar to that of the protein, and that solvent and protein are mainly distinguished by the relative featurelessness of the former, and the undulating landscape of the latter.
As a result of truncating the density within the protein region, the overall variance of electron density of the protein region relative to the solvent region decreases.
This means that the density of the solvent region has to be scaled down since it was found desirable to maintain a constant ratio between the two.
