About this photo
The image is a diagram of the elements according to relative abundance. It's a stylized periodic table with elements represented by their symbols within irregularly shaped cells. The cells are colored in shades of blue, orange, and brown, with a note that colors suggest relative electronegativity. A notable visual element is a 3D-like representation of a landscape or structure in the lower-middle section of the chart, connecting various elements. The style is educational and infographic-like. ON-SCREEN TEXT: The Elements According to Relative Abundance A Periodic Chart by Prof. Wm. F. Sheehan, University of Santa Clara, CA 95053 Ref. Chemistry, Vol.49, No.3, p 17-18, 1976 Colors suggest relative electronegativity © 1970 Wm. F. Sheehan All Rights Reserved Reprinted from 1978 G&D Calendar. Roughly, the size of an element's own niche ("I almost wrote square") is proportioned
