Color schemes
Kalzium can show you which elements are where with regard to their Periodic “block” and “group”, their behavior with acid and which state of matter (i.e. solid/liquid/vapor) they are in at a given temperature.
Color schemes are changed in the menu.
: all the elements have the same color. You can change the default color by choosing -> and going to the Colors tab.
: displays a color for each group. A group is a vertical column in the periodic table of the elements. There are 18 groups in the standard periodic table. Elements in a group have similar configurations of their valence shell electrons, which gives them similar properties.
: displays a color for each block.
: each acidic behavior is represented by a different color.
