Accompanying figures
There are also some accompanying figures to illustrate the usefulness and application of the Earth Scientist's Periodic Table of the Elements and Their Ions. Some of these (3, 6, and 7) have become insets in The table; the others have not.
How speciation in aqueous solution varies across an important part of the periodic table
Accompanying Figure 1
Which elements make oxide minerals and which only make oxo-complexes in solution and/or gaseous oxides
Accompanying Figure 2
Patterns in the chemistry of simple oxysalt minerals
Accompanying Figure 3
Patterns in the chemistry of oxysalt minerals
Patterns in the chemistry of OH-- and O2--bearing oxysalt minerals
Accompanying Figure 4
Patterns in the chemistry of carbonate minerals
Accompanying Figure 5
Variation in the solubility of oxides of hard cations

Variation in the melting temperature of oxides of hard cations

Patterns of substitution of ions in igneous minerals

Categorization of elements in igneous rocks
Categories of cations across an important part of the periodic table according to their behavior in the crystallization of magmas.
Accompanying Figure 9
Si⁴⁺ is scarce in early-forming igneous phases
… and only becomes abundant in late-forming igneous phases
Accompanying Figure 10. It's part of an argument developed in Accompanying Figure 9.
