Mercury has almost no atmosphere because its gravity is too weak to hold on to it. The exosphere contains hydrogen, helium, oxygen, sodium, calcium, potassium in gas form. These are continually being lost into space; while at the same time, they are replaced by solar wind and by radioactive decay of materials on Mercury's surface.

a very thin amount of vaporized metal
How much air is in Mercury's atmosphere?
Very, very little, as Mercury's atmosphere is almost a vacuum only minute traces of gasses are found.
Which gasses are on the planet Mercury?
Mercury has no atmosphere, however, there is a trace exosphere containing hydrogen, helium, and oxygen, that gets dynamically created and destroyed.
What are the Dissolved gasses that are in oceans?
The three major gasses dissloved in ocean water are nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide.
What are the components of Mercury?
