How do you know if its periodic?
If a function repeats over at a constant period we say that is a periodic function. It is represented like f(x) = f(x + p), p is the real number and this is the period of the function.
What makes a graph periodic?
A function is periodic if its graph repeats after a given length (called the period), sort of like a wave.
What does it mean for a property to be periodic?
Repetition of properties after a certain interval is called periodicity of properties. If elements are arranged in increasing order of their atomic number in the periodic table, then elements repeat their properties after a definite interval.
What is the condition for periodic function?
A function is periodic, with period T, if it repeats itself exactly after an interval of length T. i.e. y(x) = y(x+ T) for any x. Evidently, the derivatives of y(x) are also periodic (unless the function cannot be differentiated – otherwise just differentiate y(x) = y(x + T)).
How do you find periodic trends?
Moving left to right on the periodic table causes an increase in atomic number (number of protons) as well as electron affinity and electronegativity. Atomic radius, however, will decrease when moving left to right. As more protons are added to the nucleus, they have a stronger attraction to the electrons.
