Thumbs up Answer: how do i type atomic numbers and mass numbers in Word

  1. Open a new Word document and place your cursor where you want to insert the atomic number or mass number.
  2. For the atomic number, type the number first, followed by the element symbol. For example, to type the atomic number for carbon, you would type "6C". The number should be subscripted automatically.
  3. For the mass number, type the number first, followed by the element symbol, and then a hyphen. For example, to type the mass number for carbon-12, you would type "12C-". The number should be subscripted automatically.
  4. If the number is not subscripted automatically, highlight the number and then right-click on it. Select "Font" from the drop-down menu, and then check the box next to "Subscript". Click "OK" to apply the change.
That's it! You should now be able to easily type atomic numbers and mass numbers in Word.

Use these shortcuts to change the format to subscript or superscript:

Ctrl and the = key for subscript.
Ctrl and the + key (that is, Ctrl and Shift and =) for superscript.

And if you need both, you could either try an eq field:
{ eq \a(235,92)}U
(format the numbers in a smaller font size)
or the Equation Editor (second row, third item on the Equation Editor =
toolbar).

For MS 2010, click "Insert" on the ribbon, then click on the "Equation" drop down list and click on the "Insert New Equation" option. A new ribbon will appear at the top and click on the "Matrix" drop down list. Click on the second box on the first row. Proceed and enter the atomic number, atomic mass and chemical symbol. Adjust font size and chemical symbol to the desired size. Save it as a new equation.

Best regards,
