Re: Double Bonds as Regions of Electron Density
Double bonds still count as a single region of electron density. This is a crucial idea for the VSEPR model and the shapes of the molecules.
Re: Double Bonds as Regions of Electron Density
Double and triple bonds as well are only considered as one region of e- density!

Lone pairs are also considered regions of electron density!

Single, Double, Triple bonds all counts as one region of electron density.

Re: Double Bonds as Regions of Electron Density
All bonds count as one region of electron density. Instead of considering the number of bonds it will be easier for you if you consider the number of atoms bonded to the central atom.
