Mercury bulk Earth composition

The compositions of the planets in the solar system and those of chondritic meteorites provide a guide to the bulk Earth composition (see Chapter 2.01). However, the rich compositional diversity of these bodies presents a problem insofar as there is no single meteorite composition that can be used to characterize the Earth. The solar system is compositionally zoned planets with lesser concentrations of volatile elements are closer to the Sun. Thus, as compared to Mercury and Jupiter, the Earth has an intermediate uncompressed density (roughly a proportional measure of metal to rock) and volatile element inventory, and is more depleted in volatile elements than CI-chondrites, the most primitive of all of the meteorites.
