The elements in the periodice table are not listed in alphabetical order, because the arragement in rows (periods) and columns (groups or familes), in increasing order of atomic number (number of protons of the atoms) permits to explain similarities among the elements, trend in some properties, and even predict properties of unknown elements.
For example, the elements of the first group (family), called alkaline metals, all have 1 valence electron, have similar physical properties (ductibility, malleability, luster, thermal and electricity conductivity), react in similar way with water, show a trend in the atomic radii and in the ionization energy.
You can tell similar stories for other groups like, alkalyne earth metals, halogens and noble gases.
You can also tell trends in electroneativities, and atomic radii, for a row of elements, as per the order they are in the row.
So, the current array resulted very helpul for chemists to explain and predict the behavior and properties of the elements.
Sorry I skate and usually the smaller wheel rolls faster. Try C. then It's like longboard wheels they roll pretty fast.

Answer:
a) Sm
Explanation:
Hello,
This substantiation could be done by knowing how to compute the released energy for 1 mol the oxide. Thus, for Sm, the computation turns out into:
The sign just indicates that the heat is released due to the chemical reaction and it matches with the indicated heat in the statement.
Best regards.
The position of hydrogen is controversial in periodic table because hydrogen is the only element with out neutron. it belongs to 1 st group but it is not placed there .
