Solid lithium iodide decomposes into solid lithium and iodine gas.
Lithium Iodide
lithium iodide (LiI)
An ionic compound, specifically a salt, named silver iodide.
It looks like Magnesium Iodide (and also its hexa- and octa-hydrates) is white or semi clear crystallic, solid salt.However, though magnesium iodide is stable at even high heat under a hydrogen gas atmosphere, it decomposes in air at normal temperatures, turning brown from the release of elemental iodine. When heated in air, it decomposes completely to magnesium oxide and (purple vapor of) iodine. This can be checkes with wet starchy test paper becoming black.

lithium iodide (LiI)
LiI has two elements in it, lithium and iodine. Lithium is an alkali metal and iodine is a halogen, so together they form an ionic salt. The correct name is the lithium iodide.
Chlorine does react with lithium iodide to produce free iodine and lithium chloride according to the equation Cl2 + 2 LiI -> 2 LiCl +I2.
a displacement reaction
LiI has two elements in it, lithium and iodine. Lithium is an alkali metal and iodine is a halogen, so together they form an ionic salt. The correct name is the lithium iodide.
In Iodine, the element is in 0 oxidation state, but in Iodide it is in -1. Iodine = I2 , Iodide = I- Iodine can exist freely, but Iodide cannot.
