Cosmochemistry is the study of the chemical composition of the universe and the processes that produced those compositions. Understandably, comochemistry focuses primarily on the objects in our own solar system, because that is where we have direct access to the most chemical information.
A significant portion of the universe is comprised of elements, ions, and the compounds form by their combinations. These chemical componets can ocurr as gases or superheated plasmas, less commonly as solids, and very rarely as a liquids.
