Periodicity refers to how the properties of elements change as you move either across a period or down a group. For example Elements in group 7 become more reactive further up the group, this is periodicity in that respect.

Periodicity refers to some basic physical characteristics of the element that is based on it's structure. Trends in these characteristics are observed over the periodic table, hence the name.
Periodicity encompasses Electronegativity, Electron Affinity, Ionization energy, and Atomic radius.

Periodicity pertains to which era an element sits on interior the periodic table. classes are the rows of the periodic table. So Hydrogen and Helium are the 1st era. (trace: while you're writing approximately them think of roughly it in terms of electron shells)
