This electron density map gives the "shape" of the O and Si atoms when they are bonded together. Think about the answer in Q9 and choose the best response below: (Select answer choice) a. This figure shows that the Si and O atoms, when they bond together, do not form spheres, which is due to the fact that the Si-O bond is strongly covalent and these shared electrons affect atomic shape. This change in shape limits the applicability of Pauling's Coordination principle since that principle is based on the geometry of perfect spheres. b. This figure shows that the Si and O atoms, when they bond together are close to perfect spheres, which is due to the fact that the Si-O bond is strongly covalent.
