Iodine is very less abundant compared to fluorine and chlorine and it is found in seawater also with chlorides,bromides etc and certain forms of marine life also contain Iodine in their systems.Eg Seaweeds
because of the natural oils and brown rice that is with seaweed that you eat and the make up of the sea weed (natural) is organic to the body and is abundant in iodine
The least abundant element in the human body is usually considered to be the trace element iodine. Iodine is primarily found in the thyroid gland and is essential for the production of thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism. Despite its low abundance, iodine plays a crucial role in overall health and well-being.
South Carolina was known as the Iodine State because of the large percentage of iodine found in the vegetables grown in the state. Iodine State was even a banner on state vehicle license plates during the 1930's.
Iodine has a higher atomic number (53) because it has one more proton in its nucleus than tellurium (52). However, iodine's lower atomic mass compared to tellurium is due to differences in their isotopic composition. Isotopes of iodine with lower mass numbers are more abundant, leading to a lower average atomic mass for iodine compared to tellurium.
In plant histology, iodine is commonly used as a stain to detect the presence of starch in plant tissues. Iodine reacts with starch molecules, forming a blue-black color complex. This staining technique helps identify storage tissues such as roots, tubers, and seeds, where starch is abundant.
The common name for iodine is iodine.
iodine
Yes, it is a dark crystal solid with a metallic shine and purple vapour (by sublimation). It is not very abundant in nature, most of it resources come from seawater potassium iodide (KI).
Iodine is a chemical element, while povidone iodine is a complex of iodine and the polymer povidone. Povidone iodine is commonly used as an antiseptic due to its slower release of iodine compared to pure iodine.
Iodine ion is not consumed; in the first step the iodine ion is oxidized to iodine, in the second step iodine is reduced to iodine ion.
The most abundant elements in the human body are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorous, sulfur, calcium, sodium, potassium, chlorine (don't forget, table salt is sodium chloride!) and iron. There are many others that are present in smaller quantities including copper, zinc, iodine, etc.
Iodine crystals are solid, crystalline form of elemental iodine, while iodine solution is a liquid mixture of elemental iodine and either alcohol or water. Iodine crystals are typically used for storage and long-term preservation, while iodine solution is commonly used for disinfection and medical purposes.
