This study considers the potential of elemental analysis of polysaccharide ionotropic gels in elucidating the junction zones for different divalent cations. The developed algorithm ensures the correct separation of contributions from physically adsorbed and structure-forming ionic compounds, with the obtained results scaled to alginate C12 block. Possible versions of chain association into dimers and their subsequent integration into flat junction zones were analyzed within the framework of the “egg-box” model. The application of combinatorial analysis made it possible to derive theoretical relations to find the probability of various types of egg-box cell occurrences for alginate chains with arbitrary monomeric units ratio μ = M/G, which makes it possible to compare experimental data for alginates of different origins. Based on literature data and obtained chemical formulas, the possible correspondence of concrete biopolymer cells to those most preferable for filling by alkaline earth cations was established. The identified features of elemental composition suggest the formation of composite hydrated complexes with the participation of transition metal cations. The possibility of quantitatively assessing ordered secondary structures formed due to the physical sorption of ions and molecules from environment, correlating with the sorption capabilities of Me2+ alginate, was established.
