Smells(Pun intended ) like Strontium thogh the odor is not all bad. I believe they used this substance for flares in Czarist Russia. Getting a bit off course, I have seen prayer cards of one of the Grand duchesses Holding aloft a Strontium Night flare-giving off a dense purple light-rarteh than amore religous-oreinted candle. Gentian Violet, which comes form Bulgaria is also used for purple smoke screens and fusees-flares, It is not an element, though.

What is iodine vapour?

A "vapor" in chemistry is always the gas phase of a substance that is more familiar in one of its condensed phases: liquid or solid. Therefore, iodine vapor is the gas phase of the element iodine, and has the same molecular composition as the solid, I2. Iodine is a solid at standard temperature and pressure, but sublimes directly to gas phase, without any intermediate liquid phase, at only moderately higher temperatures than the standard.
