The chemical elements have a number of properties that are important to understand their behaviour in the various processes meteorites and their components experience. Such properties are e.g., 50% condensation temperature, lithophile/siderophile/… affinity,  group affiliation, e.g., platinum group element (PGE), highly siderophile element (HSE), solar abundance, isotope information, etc. Elements with specific characteristics can be quickly identified and together with their information read from this table.
