I did write a very basic and short guide on using math mode to write chemical formulae and things like CH 4 2+ Na as in super / subscripts and 1 H 1 Showing mass number / atomic number will try and dig it out, if anything something like that is useful for school chemistry students, I am sure there is a way to insert /longarrow or similar and also put things on top of long arrow e.g catalyst --------> yeast for example if you are writing about fermentation.
