[Solved] Chemistry Formula in Math

Post by besmerm »

Hello there

I need to write some chemical formula so I tried to use MATH and spotted a problem there. I need to write the formula for NH_3^+ So the 3 should be on smaller and a bit lower whereas the + should be smaller and a bit higher. I found both formula settings. The 3 was working fine but the + didn't work. Other symbols worked but not the operators + - and so on. It shows a ? upside down and writes the + on top of the whole formula.
Any way I can still write this? Thank you

Try:

Code: Select all

NH_3^"+"
Use the double quotes when the signs have to be handled as text.
