Carbon in the core
Carbon is extremely abundant in the solar system (10 × Si, 20 × S) in Cl carbonaceous chondrites (3.2 wt%) and it dissolves readily in liquid Fe at low pressures (4.3 wt% at 1420 K). Despite these properties it is rarely considered a potential light element in the Fe-rich core, because it is volatil...
