A priori it would seem possible to determine the solar abundances of the H, C, N and O atoms on the basis of the solar abundances of the CN, CH, C2, NH and OH molecules. Such a determination entails two distinct problems:

  1. (1) The determination of the molecular abundances with the help of the measured intensities of individual rotational lines.

  2. (2) The calculation of atomic abundances on the basis of the equations of dissociation equilibrium.
