Elements in the same period all have the same...number of valence electrons. Roughly speaking, it means atoms of that period have the same number of electrons available to interact with other atoms. This is more important for those elements filling their s and p orbitals which are drawn to the number of electrons of the nearest noble gas in the far right column, and then form ionic bonds (so H with 1 electron and Na with 11 electrons would each like to lose 1 electron <giving it a net positive charge> to get to the 2 electrons of He and 10 electrons of Ne respectively; while O with 8 electrons and S with 16 electrons would each gain 2 electrons <giving it a net negative charge> to get to the 10 electrons of Ne and 18 electrons of Ar respectively). In contrast, those elements in the middle of the table collectively called the transition elements, which are generally filling their f orbital, are not strongly drawn either direction and tend to form metallic bonds where all electrons are shared collectively.

What is the correlation of a period number with the elements of that period?

The period number of an element corresponds to the energy level of its outermost electrons. Elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells. As you move from left to right across a period, the number of protons and electrons increases, resulting in higher effective nuclear charge, which affects the properties of the elements.
