Explain how graphs can be used to describe, predict, compare or infer information

Graphs show a pattern in something that we are following. So by using those patterns on the graphs, we can see how the process that we are following is changing and we can conclude that without anything drastic happening the process will continue with the same pattern.

An example would be a pattern in weight loss. If a graph shows that a person is losing weight 1 pound per week we can conclude that the next week the person will have 1 pound less. This will only change if the person starts eating more which would be a drastic change to the pattern.

idk i’m struggling too

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.
