Best answer

(a) The repetition of same properties after definite interval is called periodicity in properties. 

(b) All elements in group have same number of valence electrons. 

(c) Tendency to gain electrons increases from left to right in the period because the atomic size goes on decreasing and nuclear charge increases, which can attract the nearby electron.
