The planet Jupiter consists of nearly only hydrogen and helium, and is such a gas planet. According to Wikipedia, the exact figures for the different elements are:
89.8±2.0% Hydrogen
10.2±2.0% Helium
~0.3% Methane
~0.026% Ammonia
~0.003% Hydrogen deuteride
0.0006% Ethane
0.0004% Water
±X means +/-, in other words that the given figure have a margin of error of X.
As ice:
Ammonia
Water
Ammonium hydrosulfide
