Kinds of lithophile element :

• calcium (10 kinds, 185 facts) (Ca, ¹S₀ in ground state) - silvery-white, relatively soft metal
• chlorine (7 kinds, 162 facts) (Cl, ²P_3/2 in ground state) - yellow-green, dense, sharp-smelling gas (Cl₂) which is a key industrial chemical
• magnesium (6 kinds, 140 facts) (Mg, ¹S₀ in ground state) - silvery white, lustrous and relatively soft metal
• potassium (8 kinds, 177 facts) (K, ²S_1/2 in ground state, kalium from Greek) - soft white metal which is silvery when first cut but oxidizes rapidly in air
• silicon (5 kinds, 138 facts) (Si, ³P₀ in ground state) - ultrapure crystals of silicon have a blue-grey metallic sheen
• sodium (3 kinds, 118 facts) (Na, ²S_1/2 in ground state, natrium from Latin) - soft, silvery-white metal which oxidizes rapidly when cut
