Two well know nebulae are the Crab and Horsehead nebulae.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe.
What is the most Abundant gas are in the Atmosphere
Ionized hydrogen and helium are the most abundant chemical elements in nebulae.
hydrogen and helium
The third most abundant element in the universe is Oxygen.
For one thing, the Milky Way is a spiral galaxy, which is the most abundant type of galaxy.
A milky white mineral made up of silica is quartz. Quartz is the second most abundant mineral on the Earth's crust.

No, nebulae are not unique to the Milky Way, there are hundreds that have been identified outside it, and are generally assumed to be present in most if not all other galaxies.
*the correct term is nebulae. a nebulae is a could of many gases and dust, where stars are created. TYPES: Diffuse Nebulae- the most common type. it is interstellar, which means among the stars, and not part of any galaxy. Planetary Nebulae- completely unrelated to planets. planetary nebulae is when gas and plasma are formed after certain types of stars die. it sometimes looks like gas planets, like neptune and uranus, hence the name. Reflection Nebulae- clouds of dust that reflect the light of nearby stars, though they are not nebulae, because they do not create stars. Protoplanetary Nebulae- a point in the lifetime of an astronomical object (star). protoplanetary nebulae, or preplanetary nebulae, emit light, much like reflection nebulae Emission Nebulae- a could of ionized gas which emits colorful lights
They are the smallest manifestations of dark nebulae with sizes less than 3 light years across, and are most easily visible when silhouetted in front of emission nebulae or reflection nebulae. Though upper limits are difficult to decide, they generally contain between 0.1 and 2000 solar masses of gas and dust (above this they are simply known as dark nebulae), and form isolated stars, not massive star clusters. Bok Globules typically have temperatures of around 10 Kelvin.
Because hydrogen is the most common element in the universe and also it has a spectral emission line in the microwave radio part of the spectrum making it easier to track with a radio telescope.
