Most of the gas in the Universe is a mixture of hydrogen and helium. It’s thought that the initial atmospheres of most planets also start out that way.

Venus, Earth, and Mars are thought to have second atmospheres, with their original hydrogen/helium envelopes having been lost and/or transformed. The dynamics of loss are complicated. Lighter elements are lost more easily, but hydrogen can be protected by being incorporated into…
