Victor Goldschmidt Created 2026-10-24 Updated 2026-11-05
Victor Goldschmidt, the geochemist Victor Moritz Goldschmidt, related the distribution of chemical elements to their chemical behaviour and the properties of minerals. His work on atomic radius values and ionic radius values connected crystal chemistry with crystallography; his geochemical classification organized elements according to their association with different material reservoirs.[ref]
