  2. Periodic trends - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_trends

    [10] [11] [12] As one moves from left-to-right across a period in the modern periodic table, the ionization energy increases as the nuclear charge increases and the atomic size decreases. The decrease in the atomic size results in a more potent force of attraction between the electrons and the nucleus. However, suppose one moves down in a group.

  3. Periodic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_function

    This definition of periodicity can be extended to other geometric shapes and patterns, as well as be generalized to higher dimensions, such as periodic tessellations of the plane. A sequence can also be viewed as a function defined on the natural numbers, and for a periodic sequence these notions are defined accordingly.

  4. Reciprocals of primes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocals_of_primes

    For example, 3 is the only prime with period 1, 11 is the only prime with period 2, 37 is the only prime with period 3, 101 is the only prime with period 4, so they are unique primes. The next larger unique prime is 9091 with period 10, though the next larger period is 9 (its prime being 333667).

  5. Periodic continued fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_continued_fraction

    Such a quadratic irrational may also be written in another form with a square-root of a square-free number (for example (+) /) as explained for quadratic irrationals. By considering the complete quotients of periodic continued fractions, Euler was able to prove that if x is a regular periodic continued fraction, then x is a quadratic irrational ...

  6. Pisano period - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisano_period

    The remaining primes all lie in the residue classes () or (). If p is a prime different from 2 and 5, then the modulo p analogue of Binet's formula implies that π (p) is the multiplicative order of a root of x 2 − x − 1 modulo p.

  7. Periodic point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_point

    exhibits periodicity for various values of the parameter r. For r between 0 and 1, 0 is the sole periodic point, with period 1 (giving the sequence 0, 0, 0, …, which attracts all orbits). For r between 1 and 3, the value 0 is still periodic but is not attracting, while the value r − 1 r {\displaystyle {\tfrac {r-1}{r}}} is an attracting ...

  8. Periodic sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_sequence

    A (purely) periodic sequence (with period p), or a p-periodic sequence, is a sequence a 1, a 2, a 3, ... satisfying . a n+p = a n. for all values of n. [1] [2] [3] If a sequence is regarded as a function whose domain is the set of natural numbers, then a periodic sequence is simply a special type of periodic function.

  9. Electron configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_configuration

    For example, all the elements of group 2 (the table's second column) have an electron configuration of [E] ns 2 (where [E] is a noble gas configuration), and have notable similarities in their chemical properties. The periodicity of the periodic table in terms of periodic table blocks is due to the number of electrons (2, 6, 10, and 14) needed ...
