Chemistry
Reading time: 1minChemType is the chemistry mode of MathType. It provides a specialized toolbar and editing behaviour designed for writing chemical notation more efficiently.
ChemType supports chemical expressions that can be represented using MathML. It builds on the standard MathType editor by adding chemistry-specific symbols and formatting while keeping all the mathematical editing capabilities.
In applications that support ChemType, you'll typically find two editor buttons:
- MathType, for mathematical notation.
- ChemType, for chemical notation.
Note: If your application doesn't include a ChemType button, contact your IT administrator. The integration may support ChemType but have it disabled.
You can also try ChemType online.
Upright chemical elements
Mathematical variables are normally displayed in italics. Chemical element symbols, however, follow different typographic conventions.
In ChemType, chemical element symbols are automatically displayed in upright (Roman) text, making chemical formulas easier to read and consistent with scientific notation.
Chemistry toolbar
The Chemistry toolbar contains the symbols and templates most commonly used when writing chemical notation.
The remaining toolbar tabs are the same as those available in MathType.
Chemistry symbols in MathType
Even without switching to ChemType, several chemistry-related symbols are available in the standard MathType toolbar.
Reaction arrows
Reaction arrows are available from the Arrows tab.
Chemical element symbols
Chemical element symbols are available from the Greek, letters and numbers tab.
Frequently used elements are displayed directly in the toolbar. Additional elements can be accessed through the expanded section, which is organized as a periodic table.
