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.
A coordinate grid has two perpendicular lines, or axes, labeled like number lines. The horizontal axis is called the x-axis. The vertical axis is called the y-axis. The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect is called the origin. The numbers on a coordinate grid are used to locate points. Each point can be identified by an ordered pair of numbers; that is, a number on the x-axis called an x-coordinate, and a number on the y-axis called a y-coordinate. Ordered pairs are written in parentheses (x-coordinate, y-coordinate).
The y-axis is vertical with values increasing from bottom to top. axis equal sets the aspect ratio so that the data units are the same in every direction. The aspect ratio of the x-, y-, and z-axis is adjusted automatically according to the range of data units in the x, y, and z directions. axis image is the same as axis equal except that the plot box fits tightly around the data. axis square makes the current axes region square (or cubed when three-dimensional). MATLAB adjusts the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis so that they have equal lengths and adjusts the increments between data units accordingly.
