Scientific paper

Goldschmidt's (1923) geochemical classification of the elements into siderophile, chalcophile, lithophile and atomphile groups is reviewed and the pertinence of this classification in meteorite research is emphasized. The occurrence and distribution in meteorites of nitrogen, magnesium, silicon, phosphorus, calcium, titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, nickel and copper are discussed. Of these elements, the normally lithophile calcium, titanium, chromium and manganese became chalcophile in meteorites showing a very high degree of reduction (the enstatite chondrites and enstatite achondrites).
