Volatile elements have low concentration because they have a tendency to vaporize at relatively low temperatures. This means that they are easily lost from the solid phase and can escape into the atmosphere or space. As a result, their concentration in solid materials is lower compared to refractory elements that have higher melting points and are less likely to vaporize.
Refractory elements have higher concentrations because they have higher melting points and are less likely to vaporize. This means that they are more likely to remain in the solid phase and accumulate in solid materials over time. As a result, their concentration in solid materials is higher compared to volatile elements.
