Elemental Abundances on Earth

Volatiles

Non volatile

Neon Isotope Ratios

^{20} {\rm Ne} /^{22} {\rm Ne}
20Ne/22Ne^{20} {\rm Ne} /^{22} {\rm Ne}

Inside the earth:

like solar

In the atmosphere:

like chondrites

Scenario

Scenario 2

Scenario 3

Scenario 4

Scenario 5

Photoevaporation?

Noble Gas ratios in the Mantle

Photoevaporation would deplete He before Ne

Multiple Collisions

He is twice as soluble as Ne -> multiple collisions necessary to reach current ratios
