Pick a trend; the main-group grid shades darker where the property is larger, and the arrows show the direction of increase.

Try: switch between Atomic radius and Ionization energy — the shading flips corner-to-corner, because as atoms get smaller (up and right) electrons are held more tightly, so ionization energy and electronegativity rise where radius falls.
