Hi Anna,

Unfortunately we don't have any experience installing or using ChimeraX 
on a Chromebook.  For the quickest help, I'd recommend someone at your 
school.  Preferably someone that has already succeeded at installing 
Ubuntu applications on a Chromebook.  Or just a computer knowledgeable 
person that can see exactly how you tried to install ChimeraX and then 
help troubleshoot.  Or maybe someone on this mailing list can help?  I 
will try to setup ChromeOS in a virtual machine to see if I can 
reproduce your problem, but it is unclear to me just yet if that will work.

     HTH,

     Greg
