It is doubtful that there are gases in the atmosphere that are foreign to us here on earth. It is made up of about 90% hydrogen, close to 10% helium with the rest Consisting of ammonia, sulfur, methane and water vapor.
There is likely a large quantity of helium 3 which is an isotope of helium that we could use in nuclear reactors rather safely since it isn't radioactive. There have been talks since the 90's of possibly mining for the stuff on the moon.

How do we know this? There could be gases underneath the atmosphere that we cannot detect or wouldn't know about due to our tech.
I've read about the H3 moon mining talks. I think it was either, Japan, Russia or Elon Musk(lol).
