Surface density
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-011636
A quantity per unit area, representing the concentration of a physical quantity on a two-dimensional surface. It can refer to mass per unit area (areal density), charge per unit area (surface charge density), or the number of entities per unit area. For example, surface charge density is measured in coulombs per square meter (C/m²).
