Is the enthalpy of a reaction altered by a catalyst?

I don't think the introduction of a catalyst to a reaction would affect its enthalpy.  The reason why I think this is that enthalpy is a state function meaning it does not matter what pathway is taken, the end result will always be the same.  A catalyst only changes the reaction mechanism and the starting point and ending point should not change.  If you look at a energy diagram of a reaction with and without a catalyst, you should see that the only thing that changed was the activation energy required to make the reaction happen.  Not the enthalpy.

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

explanation

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.
