Scientific paper

Data available on the chemical and isotopic compositions of the upper atmospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are used to obtain ranges of variations and of the most probable abundance values of a number of elements and isotopic ratios in the atmospheres of these planets. On the basis of a comparison of these values with data on cosmic abundances and with thermodynamic calculations, a plausible mechanism is proposed for the formation and the subsequent evolution of these planets, together with the possible composition of the gas phase in the area of giant-planet formation.
