GFDL:Goldschmidt classification
WP
This article is based on content from Wikipedia.
The Goldschmidt classification, developed by Victor Goldschmidt, is a geochemical classification which groups the chemical elements according to their preferred host phases into siderophile (iron loving), lithophile (silicate loving), chalcophile (sulfur loving), and atmophile (gas loving).
Atmophile elements
H, N, noble gases
Chalcophile elements
Ag, As, Bi, Cd, Cu, Ga, Hg, In, Pb, Po, S, Sb, Se, Te, Tl, Zn
Lithophile elements
Al, At, B, Ba, Be, Br, Ca, Cl, Cr, Cs, F, I, Hf, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, Nb, O, Rb, Sc, Si,Sr, Ta, Th, Ti, U, V, Y, Zr, W, Lanthanides
Siderophile elements
Au, C, Co, Fe, Ge, Ir, Mo, Ni, Os, P, Pd, Pt, Re, Rh, Ru, Sn
Some elements have affinities to more than one phase. The main affinity is given.
