Abundances

The poster describes the significance of solar system elemental abundances. It show the atomic abundances by number as function of atomic number. Primitive meteorites and the solar spectrum are used to get most of these data.

The periodic table of the elements with their listed solar system abundances and 50% Condensation temperatures using data in Lodders 2003 with some updates n 2009. Colors of individual elements indicate their geochemical character.
The periodic table of the elements with their listed solar system abundances and 50% Condensation temperatures using data in Lodders 2003 with some updates n 2009. Colors of individual elements indicate their geochemical character. Lithophile = rock-loving (silicates, oxides); chalocphile = sulfide-loving, siderophile = metal-loving.
A deep field view of galaxies in space as background. The zig-zag curve of the abundances by mass of the chemical elements in the solar photosphere is in the foreground. The abundances span more than ten-rders of magnitude! Lithium with atomic number 3 has the lowest low abundance.
A deep field view of galaxies in space is set as image background. The zig-zag curve (odd vs. even atomic numbers on the x-axis) of the abundances of the chemical elements by mass (micro-gram per gram) as measured in the solar photosphere is in the foreground. The abundances span more than ten-orders of magnitude! Lithium with atomic number 3 has the lowest abundance. See the article about the cosmic lithium story in the Magazine “elements” (Lodders 2020)
