<title>Introduction</title>
<para>&kalzium; provides you with all kinds of information about the
Periodic Table of the Elements. You can lookup
lots of information about the elements and also use visualizations to
show them. It is free and licensed
under the &GNU; Public License.
</para>
<para>
You can visualize the Periodic Table of the Elements by groups, blocks,
and families. You can
plot data for a range of elements for properties like the boilingpoint or the
atomic mass. You can go back in time and see what elements were known at a
given date. You can also calculate the molecular mass of molecules.

<para>
&kalzium; is divided in a navigation panel on the left (in red, 1) and the table view (in blue, 2) which shows the elements of the periodic table. The standard menubar allows you to choose what you want to display and the status bar reports facts. You can hide the navigation panel using the <menuchoice> <guimenu>View</guimenu> <guimenuitem>Show Sidebar</guimenuitem> </menuchoice> menu.
</para>
<para>
When you move the mouse cursor on an element of the table, an overview of the current element in the <guilabel>Overview</guilabel> tab of the navigation panel is displayed.
</para>
<para>
You can choose several views for the table: display the elements per families, per groups, per crystal structure, depending on their acidic behaviour, &etc;. You can change all that in the menubar in the <menuchoice> <guimenu>View</guimenu> <guimenuitem>Scheme</guimenuitem> </menuchoice> menu.

If you want to know facts about a precise element, click on it in the table and the information dialog will be displayed.

facts related to the element.</para>
<para> Depending on the data available in &kalzium; you will see
different radii of the element. The covalent radius is the radius
of a non charged atom of the element in a molecule. The could for
example be the O-H-distance in Water. The atomic radius is the
radius of an elemental atom, ⪚ not bound to anything. The van der
Waals-radius is defined as the distance of two atoms of the same
sort in two equal molecules, for example two carbon-atoms in
propane. The last possible radius is the ionic radius including its
charge.</para>

<para>The numeration is the way of numbering the 18 groups of the periodic table. You can change the numeration to
<guilabel>IUPAC</guilabel>, <guilabel>old IUPAC</guilabel> or
<guilabel>CAS</guilabel>, or you can switch it off entirely.</para>

<guimenuitem>IUPAC</guimenuitem> (default) is the <firstterm>International

<listitem><para>
<guimenuitem>CAS</guimenuitem> is the <firstterm>Chemical Abstracts

is the official, the <acronym>CAS</acronym> numeration is what is still
used in classrooms and laboratories.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
The <guimenuitem>Old IUPAC</guimenuitem> system labeled columns with Roman numerals followed by either the letter <quote>A</quote> or <quote>B</quote>. Columns were numbered such that columns one through seven were numbered <quote>IA</quote> through <quote>VIIA</quote>, columns 8 through 10 were labeled <quote>VIIIA</quote>, columns 11 through 17 were numbered <quote>IB</quote> through <quote>VIIB</quote> and column 18 was numbered <quote>VIII</quote>.
