The surface was initially dominated by intense volcanism, frequent asteroid impacts and a turbulent atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide, nitrogen, water vapour, methane and ammonia. Liquid water condensed as the planet cooled, forming the first oceans while the crust stabilised into early proto-continents - wikipedia 
During this period Earth lacked free oxygen. Radiation from the young Sun, lightning and hydrothermal activity created a chemical environment capable of producing organic molecules such as amino acids, simple sugars and lipid structures. These compounds accumulated in the oceans and around volcanic vents.
