The interstellar gas has approximately the same composition of the sun: about 74% Hydrogen, 23% Helium and 2% of larger elements. This 2% consists of all the various elements found on earth. They were produced by stars that lived and died during the 14 billion years that the universe has existed. The hydrogen and helium was produced in the aftermath of the big bang. Some of the atoms are bonded to each other to produce simple molecules like water, carbon monoxide, methane. All the material can be placed in 4 categories: 98% gas, 1.4% ice, 0.4 % rock and 0.2% metal. Hope this helps!

Where did most of the gas in the solar nebula end up?

Most of the gas in the solar nebula ended up in the formation of the Sun, which contains about 99.86% of the total mass of the solar system. The remaining gas and dust contributed to the formation of the planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. During the early stages of solar system formation, some gas was also lost to space due to solar winds and other processes. Ultimately, the distribution of gas led to the diverse range of celestial bodies we see today.
