The early Universe must have consisted of a comparatively small number of distinct types of atoms. Around 100,000 years after the big bang, helium and hydrogen were assumed to have first interacted to form the chemical known as helium hydride. Helium hydride has never been found in space, even though it would need to exist in some parts of the cosmos today.
