Periodicity, or periodic law.
Decimal numbers that never end but that end up having a repeating pattern are called recurring decimals or repeating decimals.Examples would be 1/3 = 0.33333333...or 452/555 = 0.8144144144144144... (where 144 is the repeating pattern).Reaching that repeating pattern is known as becoming periodic. Only rational numbers will have a repeating pattern. (The repeating pattern may be 00000, as in 4/2 = 2.00000... .)If a decimal number continues forever without having a repeating pattern, then it is a irrational number. One example of a number that continues forever without repeating would be π (pi) which continues infinitely without repeating.Pi is also referred to as a transcendental number.

A molecule made of many repeating parts is known as a polymer.
Prions are the smallest known infectious agents.
These numbers, such as pi, are known as trancendentalnumbers, because they represent a value that is not the solution of an algebraic equation or a quotient using real numbers.
Ionic compounds are themselves compounds having a three dimensional structure.But when ionic bonds keep repeating in a three-dimensional pattern, then they are known as Crystal Lattice.
