V.N. Larin (1993) [1] proposed that the chemical
differentiation in the solar system was driven by the magnetic
field of the Protosun, which induced a magnetic zoning of the
ionized solar nebula matter. This hypothesis is geochemically
supported by a correlation between the Log of the chemical
element abundances of the Earth outer geospheres relative to
the Sun, and the first ionization potential of these elements.
The observed correlation is theoretically reappraised in the
present paper and is interpreted as a Boltzmann distribution,
which is proportional to the distance to the Protosun. The
model is succesfully tested for the observed solar normalized
chemical compositions of the Earth, Mars and chondrites;
poorly convincing results are obtained for Venus in absence of
reliable data for low abundance elements.
The comparison of the abundance of a given element in
the Earth’s crust with the average abundance predicted from
the proposed model is further interpreted as reflecting the
geochemical radial differentiation of the Earth. Using a simple
thermochemical model, we propose that the radial distribution
of hydrogen on Earth is a function of the chemical affinities of
major Earth forming elements with hydrogen.
This model provides insights for hydrogen abundance on
Earth. Notably, the inner Earth would have been and still
could be hydrogen rich. Although most of this hydrogen have
escaped to atmosphere and space through the thorough
degassing of the mantle, it is reasonable to suggest, in the
perspective given by our model, that very large amounts still
reside in the core.
