Question

The shading around the molecule represents the relative density of electrons shared by the atoms.
What does this indicate about the density of electrons around the oxygen atom as compared to
the density of electrons around the hydrogen atoms?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A covalent bond hold the hydrogen atoms to the oxygen atom. 4. The shading around the molecules represents the relative density of electrons shared by the atoms. ... The density of the electrons around the oxygen atoms are much stronger than the density of electrons around the hydrogen atoms.

Answer 2

The density of electrons around the oxygen atom is more as compared to  the density of electrons around the hydrogen atoms.

• Oxygen has atomic number 8.
• It has 8 electrons in total. The outermost shell has 6 electrons.
• Hydrogen is the first element of the periodic table with atomic number 1 has only one electron in its atom.
• Since the shading around the molecule represents the relative density of electrons, oxygen having more electrons than hydrogen has denser shading than hydrogen.
