I have been writing chemical equations in HTML files using the element.

For example, to display MnSO4, I would enter:

 M n S  O 4  

Is this semantically correct? If not, can you recommend an alternative?

You may also consider usingIdiomatic textfor offsetting chemical equations from other text. This element is used to represent "a series of text that differs from normal text for some reason, such as idiomatic text, technical terms, classification names, etc."
