== Abstract ==<br />
<br />
X-rays, electrons, and neutrons probe different properties of matter. X-rays feel electron density (ED). Electrons<br />
sense the electrostatic potential (ESP) of electrons and nuclei. Neutrons are sensitive to nuclear<br />
coherent scattering length (NCSL). While NCSL maps are widely understood to be different, ED and ESP<br />
maps are tacitly assumed to be similar. Here, I show that the belief in ED and ESP map equivalence is<br />
mistaken, but contains a grain of truth. Using density functional theory (DFT), the Bethe-Mott (BM) relation,<br />
and the Thomas-Fermi (TF) and Cromer-Mann (CM) atomic models, I show that ED and ESPmaps are indeed<br />
more similar to each other than to NCSL maps. Nevertheless, peak and integrated map values depend differently<br />
on the atomic order number and on the contributions from electrons in the inner and outerCMshells. ED<br />
and ESP maps also differ in the sign and relative magnitude of excess charge effects.<br />
