A period on the periodic table is a horizontal row. The atoms in this row show a trend in their width, and in the amount of work needed to make them an ion, among the fe â¦ w other similarities.
The x-axis and y-axis Remembered! The x-axis and y-axis are two lines that create the coordinate plane. The x-axis is a horizontal line and the y-axis is a vertical line. I'm sure you've heard that a million times, but it might hard for you to remember which one is which. Here is a little trick to help you remember...
The horizontal number line is called the x-axis. The equation of x-axis is y = 0. The y-coordinate or ordinate of every point on x-axis is equal to 0. The figure shows the coordinate plane formed by the intersection of the x- and y- axes. Their point of intersection is called the origin.
