    (this article is just a stub, made from what I remeber from KDE4 beta 2 version)

    Kalzium is a chemical database. The central feature is a mandeleïev table that can color elements folowing different rules such as

    • family
    • acidity
    • electro-negativity
    • discovery date
    • icon representing a use case (such as a zepelin for hydrogen)
    • and more

    Kalzium also features a sidebar showing more info about the element you point onto the table. If you click on, this bring a window with detailed informations.

    It also comes with a unit converter and greek letters table.

    A glossary explains basics of some chemistry (this part you can help much without coding ) such as "what is a besher ?"
