Abundances of various species X, n(X)/ n H, on the midplane of a protoplanetary disk as functions of the distance r from the central star. The disk model is the so-called minimum-mass solar nebula in the early evolutionary phase in which sedimentation of dust grains has not yet occurred. The others are the same as in Figure 1.
