Is Iodized salt is a compound formed by combination of potassium iodide and common salt?

No. Common salt is sodium chloride (NaCl), but most common salt contains a small percentage of potassium iodide (KI). Potassium iodide is a salt as well, but tastes more bitter than ordinary salt. But they mix a little bit of it in there, because a little bit of iodine is good for your thyroid gland. The two salts are mixed together, not chemically bonded together.
