[Solved] Can't write Ni_3 (PO_4)_2
I need to write the formula for Nickel(II) phosphate for an online class. When I type it out the Ni shows up as ? . So my formula ends up ?3(PO_4)_2. What can I do?

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Use: "Ni"_3 (PO_4)_2
The Ni string may be used for a special feature in Math, requesting other arguments.

Minor quibble
"Ni"_3 ("PO"_4)_2
The default setting for Math is to use plain characters for literal text, and italics for variable names.
Literal text (quoted) and variable names (unquoted) may have different formatting, so better quote all element names in the formula.Hagar Delest wrote:Use: "Ni"_3 (PO_4)_2
