Electron Density

Electron Density is a fundamental physical quantity in quantum chemistry that belongs to the class of observable properties of many-electron systems, specifically defined as the function that assigns to each point in space the expected number of electrons per unit volume, thereby serving as the central variable in Density Functional Theory for determining the ground-state properties of a system.
