Extract

A knowledge of the quantitative chemical composition of the primordial solar system must underlie all comprehensive studies of its origin and evolution. Usually we take the composition of the surface layers (photosphere) of the Sun as representative of this composition (except perhaps for deuterium, Li, B, and Be).
