Answer:

at the oxygen end electron density lies

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbonyl group is a functional group which is formed when oxygen combined with carbon through a double bond

So the carbonyl group is
C=O in this the oxygen has more electronegativity than carbon so oxygen attracts the electron density towards itself

So the electron density lies on the oxygen in a carbonyl group
