           Summary: wish: add a table/description of units somewhere
           Product: kalzium
           Version: 1.3.1
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kalzium kde org
        ReportedBy: franke.daniel gmail com


Version:           1.3.1 (using KDE 3.4.2, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5-20050130 (Gentoo 3.3.5.20050130-r1, ssp-3.3.5.20050130-1, pie-8.7.7.1)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.11.11

Either I missed it, or there's no or only limited information on units in kalzium. One tooltip reads: "Atomic radius in picometers", that's fine, but what the heck is "u" in atomic weight? Since I don't know too much about these  things (that's why I fired up kalzium), I had to look up the "atomic mass unit" in google. 

It would be nice if kalzium could provide a short explanation of the units displayed, their name as well as their range. In addition, some information about different scales of measurement (e.g. Dalton [Da] for atomic masses, Angstrom for distances, ...) could be useful. 

Thanks.
