Distributions of a) clump effective radii, b) masses, c) H2 column densities, and d) H2 number densities. Open histograms represent the IR-dark clumps, while shaded histograms represent the IR-bright clumps (those with 8/24 μm emission). The solid and dashed vertical lines indicate the average values for IR-dark and IR-bright clumps, respectively. The average (median) radii for IR-dark and IR-bright clumps are 1.19 (1.14) and 0.96 (0.87) pc, respectively. The average (median) mass of IR-dark clumps is 3079 (2108) M, whereas that of IR-bright clumps is 1604 (804) M. The mean H2 column density is 3.2 × 1022 mm-2 for both distributions (median values are 2.8 × 1022 and 2.1 × 1022 cm-2 for IR-dark and IR-bright clumps, respectively). The average (median) H2 number densities for IR-dark and IR-bright clumps are 7250 (6000) cm-3 and 6667 (6000) mm-3, respectively.
