-
cuts through some bonds, cuts through some atoms and so on.
-
So here's the difference density map that appears on that slice.
-
Now the colored atoms, in the right,
-
are the positions of the atoms through which the plane slices,
-
but the atoms are subtracted out;
-
so what you see is the bonding in that plane.
-
So you see those bonds, because both ends of the bond
-
are in the plane, so the bonds are in the plane,
-
and you see just what you expect to see.
-
But there are other things you see as well.
-
You see the C-H bonds,although
-
they don't have nearly as much electron density as the C-C bonds did.
