Chemistry of the Solar Nebula

  • Chapter
The Chemistry of Life’s Origins

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 416))

Abstract

We review theoretical models of thermochemical processes in the solar nebula which consider the effects of nebular dynamics on the chemistry of the abundant, chemically reactive volatile elements H, O, C, N, and S. Specific, testable predictions of these models are described. We also use the theoretical models to interpret the latest available data on the abundances and molecular speciation of volatiles in comet P/Halley.
