Goldschmidt classification
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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).
