why are certain elements called atomophiles , chalcophiles , siderophiles , or lithophiles
Answers
Definition of atmophile. : found in, attracted to, or having a tendency to occur in the atmosphere —used especially of chemical elements or compounds.
Definition of siderophile. : having so little affinity for oxygen and sulfur that in a molten mass the greatest concentration (as of an element) would be found in the metallic phase (as in the iron of a blast furnace) — compare chalcophile, oxyphile.
Chalcophile - in the Goldschmidt classification, an element such as copper that forms sulphide minerals if sufficient sulphur is available.
Lithophile - in the Goldschmidt classification, an element that forms silicates or oxides and is concentrated in the minerals of the Earth's crust.
These elements are those which are know for possessing district chemical properties.
Explanation:
- Lithophiles are also called rock-loving and are found in silicates siderophiles are iron living and are partitioned with an iron and a planetary core.
- The chalcophiles are called as a copper loving meaning fund in sulfur and Cu. These elements are represented by their generic names and indicated the goldsmith's classification.
