  "term": "Electron density",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A measure of the probability of finding an electron at a particular point in space within an atom or molecule. It is typically represented by a function that describes the distribution of electrons around the nuclei. High electron density indicates a greater likelihood of finding an electron in that region.",
