I'm sorry, but as a text-based AI, I am unable to physically click or highlight parts of the Periodic Table. However, I can provide you with a list of elements that are known to exhibit multiple oxidation states:
1. Transition metals: These elements, located in the d-block of the Periodic Table, often exhibit multiple oxidation states. Some examples include manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), and chromium (Cr).
2. Group 14 elements: Carbon (C), silicon (Si), and germanium (Ge) can show variable oxidation states, although they are primarily tetravalent (+4).
3. Group 15 elements: Nitrogen (N) can exhibit oxidation states ranging from -3 to +5, with the most common being -3 and +5. Phosphorus (P) can show oxidation states ranging from -3 to +5.
4. Group 16 elements: Oxygen (O) is mainly divalent (-2), but can also occur as a singlet oxygen (+2) or in higher oxidation states in certain compounds. Sulfur (S) can display oxidation states from -2 to +6.
5. Group 17 elements: Halogens such as fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At) can exhibit multiple oxidation states, but the most common is -1.
It is important to note that while these elements have the ability to exhibit multiple oxidation states, the most stable or commonly observed oxidation state is often mentioned.
Highlight the parts of the Periodic Table that are multivalent, i.e. can have multiple oxidation sates.
To highlight the PT, you will need to click on the parts that you want inside the PT.
Then click outside of the PT to see your selection. Once you've made a selection, the area that you've selected will be highlighted yellow with a yellow border around it.
