Iodine is reactive because it has 7 valence electrons and is unstable. It needs one more electron to get 8, which would give it a noble gas configuration, and which would make the iodine atom stable. Iodine reacts with other elements in order to gain the needed electron and therefore become stable.

Why iodine monofluoride decomposes?
Iodine monofluoride decomposes due to the relatively weak bond between iodine and fluorine atoms, which makes the compound unstable. When heated, iodine monofluoride breaks down into its constituent elements, iodine and fluorine, to achieve a more stable configuration.

Is mixture of iodine and water heterogeneous and why?
Yes, a mixture of iodine and water is heterogeneous because the iodine does not dissolve completely in water, resulting in distinct particles of iodine suspended in the water. This makes it easy to visually distinguish between the iodine and water components.
