No. Iodine molecules are much larger in a molecular scale. This is due to the number of shells (6 shells) that iodine possess, making it an extremely large element, and its existence as I2 in nature makes it even larger. Water is made up of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom, making it relatively smaller in comparison.

Would you expect the bolling point of chlorine to be higher or lower than that of iodine explain?
The boiling point of iodine (184.3 0C) is substantially higher than the boiling point of chlorine (-34 0C). Each element occurs at standard temperature and pressure as diatomic molecules; iodine molecules have substantially more mass than chlorine molecules; dispersion forces will be higher beween iodine molecules as they have more electrons than chlorine molecules. Both these factors contribute, mass will alomost certainly be the predominant factor.
Is chlorine more electronegative than iodine?
Chlorine is more electronegative than iodine.
Why iodine more soluble in potassium iodide than in water?
No. Iodine exist as I2, which is formed by the induced dipole-induced dipole interaction. Thus, it is a non-polar compound. Water, which is a polar solvent, prefers to stay hydrogen bonded then break up iodine. Remember: like dissolves like. This means that non-polar compounds like iodine will dissolve in non-polar solvent such as hexane, which polar compounds such as hydrochlorine gas will dissolve in polar solvents like water.
What is the structure of solid iodine?
in the solid state the molecules of iodine align in the form of layer lattics. I-I bond distance is 271.5pm and it is appreciably longer than in gaseous iodin which is 266.6 pm and iodine is poor conductor of electricity/
Why is iodine larger than bromine?
Iodine's electron configuration is 2, 8, 18, 18, 7; bromine's is 2, 8, 18, 7. At the simplest level of modelling there is one more electron shell occupying space in an iodine atom than in one of bromine.
What molecule is larger glucose or albumin?
Glucose molecules are larger than water molecules.
Dose sand dissovle in water?
No, sand is not dissolved in water because sand has larger molecules than water molecules.
Is cell larger than molecule?
Cells are larger than molecules. Cells normally have molecules inside them and constantly passing through their membranes. Cells normally contain water molecules along with glucose and other molecules.
Why does air compress and water doesn't?
Air has larger spaces between the molecules as compared to those in water molecules so air compresses to a greater extent than water.

How might the size of the membrane pore compare to the size of the starch molecules?
In other words this question asks if the pores are bigger or smaller than the iodine molecules. So.... the answer is that the iodine are smaller than the pores and the pores are bigger, because the iodine molecules need room to pass through, and the pores are not selectively permeable because they let the iodine through.
When iodine becomes an ion is the ion larger or smaller?
Iodine gains one electron to form iodide ion. The size of iodide ion is larger than the size of iodine atom.
Does an atom of fluorine have larger or smaller radius than an atom of iodine?
Smaller
Why does water exert greater pressure on an object than does an equal volume of air?
If you were to take equal volumes of air and water and weigh them, Water would have a larger mass than air, because there are more water molecules than air molecules in the same volume. Therefore, since Pressure = Force x Area, we need to find the force. Since the water has a larger mass, it will automatically have a larger force than the air. So if it has a larger force, it will also have a higher pressure.
Are molecules larger than ions?
molecules generally larger or smaller than ions
Why does tellirium has a larger mass number than iodine?
Iodine is a non metal element. Atomic mass number of it is 127.
Why are poly saccharides more difficult to digest than mono saccarides?
Polysaccharides are much larger molecules.
