they are all over the place. e.g. scattered.
magenta vapout
they look like small circles which float around
Violet - blue I2 molecules
You can not see Gas!!!!!Though there are some gases with colour to see: this one is violet - blue I2
At the molecular level iodine gas contains I2 molecules, which if you could see them ( they are too small to be seen using light) and you were able to see the electron density then they would appear as small dumbells. When iodine sublimes the colour of the "gas" is violet this due to the aborption of visible light by the I2 molecule.
It is called sublimation
Iodine gas is usually described as having an "irritating" odor.
they both sublime, in which the solid particles will change directly into gas.
When iodine is heated, it sublimes directly from a solid to a purple gas. The gas produced is diatomic iodine molecules (I2).
it's called sublimation
The purple gas formed when heating solid iodine in a test tube is iodine vapor. Iodine sublimes directly from a solid to a gas when heated, turning into a purple gas that condenses back into solid iodine crystals when cooled.
Iodine is not a "nobel" gas or even a noble gas but rather a nonmetal element that is not a gas at all at standard temperature and pressure, but a solid instead. -- Unlike the elements in the noble gas group such as neon, which are chemically very unreactive, iodine is quite reactive, like the other elements in its group such as fluorine and chlorine.
