Periodicity is the recurring pattern of properties observed in elements when arranged in the periodic table. As you move down a group (vertical column) in the periodic table, the elements exhibit similar chemical properties due to having the same number of valence electrons. As you move across a period (horizontal row), the elements show a gradual change in properties from metallic to non-metallic due to an increase in the number of protons and electrons.
