2. Elemental Distribution in Sedimentary Rocks based on IP Accumulation of minor elements in SR is linked to IP (z/r) and metal solubility in water IP<2.5 (low IP) 2.5  IP<9.5 (Intermediate) IP>9.5 (High IP) Ba, Li, Rb, Sr ( remain in solution ) REEs, Cu, Ni, Pb, U, Zn, Zr, Tl, Sc, Ge, Cr, Co,….( will precipitate ) As, B, Mo, Se ( will form oxyanions ) If H—O > M—O: M remains in solution (poor incorporation in rocks) If H—O < M—O: M appropriates one or more O from water molecules forming oxyanions and releasing H + : Se +6 + 4H 2 O  SeO 4 2- + 8H + If H—O  Me—O: leads to the formation of an insoluble hydroxide: Zn 2+ + 2H 2 O  Zn(OH) 2 + 2H + JCB lecture 1/13

3. Classification based on IP  Medium IP  Medium IP (2.5-9.5)  Strong bond w/ O-enter early in igneous rocks  Make oxides-insoluble  Concentrated in soils  Not nutrients  Least depleted from the mantle  Low IP  Low IP (<2.5)  Weak bond w/ O-enter late in igneous rocks  Make fluoride minerals-soluble  Abundant in rivers and seawaters  Serves as nutrients

5.  Hard metals: are more likely to form oxides, carbonates, nitrides and fluorides ( O, N, and F )  Soft metals: are more likely to form phosphides, sulfides and selinides ( P, S, Cl, Br and I ).

6. Classification based on IP  Medium IP  Medium IP (2.5-9.5)  Strong bond w/ O-enter early in igneous rocks  Make oxides-insoluble  Concentrated in soils  Not nutrients  Least depleted from the mantle  Low IP  Low IP (<2.5)  Weak bond w/ O-enter late in igneous rocks  Make fluoride minerals-soluble  Abundant in rivers and seawaters  Serves as nutrients  High IP  High IP (>9.5)  Strongest bond w/ O-enter really late in igneous rocks  Make oxyanions-soluble  Abundant in rivers and seawaters  Serves as nutrients
