enthalpy is the energy given off or taken in during a reaction in the form of heat. any chemical reaction involves a change in enthalpy, but it in itself is not a chemical reaction, nor is it involved directly in any.

enthalpy is the stabilization that a chemical bond imparts. it is one component of the overall stability of a system. the more negative a change between the reactants and the products in a chemical reaction the more stable the products are relative to the reactants. the more negative the difference is, the more stable the products are. this is well explained by hess's law and most introductory chemistry books. have a look. and no, enthalpy isn't on the periodic table you idiot. neither are a lot of other physical concepts. like gravity or light.

Sorry but enthalpy isn't on the Periodic Table. So I'm not really sure what to tell you besides that what you just asked is the probably one of the stupidest things i have heard all day.
