Earth Scientist's Periodic Table Accompanying Figure 1

	This figure shows how speciation in aqueous solution varies across an important part of the periodic table. Arranging the periodic table in terms of ions, as in the Earth Scientist's Periodic Table of the Elements and Their Ions, causes speciation to follow a predictable pattern from aquo-ions at low ionic potential (e.g., K^- at lower left) to oxo-complexes at high ionic potential (e.g., S⁶⁺ in SO₄^2- at upper right).
