%C a(1)=7 represents Hydrogen and the alkali metals. Ends with a(32)=7 for 7 noble gases. These are the block counts (grouping) of the atomic numbers A134984. - _R. J. Mathar_, Feb 08 2008

%C The corresponding row numbers are A093907; the sum over all a(n) equals 118 in both cases. - _R. J. Mathar_, Feb 08 2008
