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).

Some elements have affinities to more than one phase. The main affinity is given.

**Legend:**
Atmophile	Chalcophile	Lithophile	Siderophile	very rare
