The ISM gas phase is enriched in volatile elements and depleted in refractory elements. The refractory elements likely reside in grains that condensed from the gas phase. This process likely explains the refractory rich and volatile depleted patterns of many bulk chondrites, but also chondrules, which represent a high-temperature component of chondrites.
