摘要: It is shown that the conversion of CO to methane and N/sub 2/ ammonia in primitive solar nebula was probably so slow relative radial mixing rates or evolutionary only small amounts NH/sub 3/ CH/sub 4/ could have been present. Thus most nitrogen present as ot carbon CO/sub throughout nebula. The consequences this kinetic effect upon composition cometary ices Jovian planets, melting outgassing behavior ice-rich planetary satellites, abundance terrestrial planets are briefly discussed.
