Charge density is also important in relation to chemistry. Chanrge density- the charge per unit volume of an element increases from left to right on the periodic table of the elements, and also increases from bottom to top on the periodic table of the elements. for example; The Li+ ion is smaller than the K+ ion, so the charge density of the Li+ ion is greater than that of the K+ ion. Ions with greater charge densities can attract polar molecules (like water) more easily.
