Say you have a neutral iodine atom: I. It has 53 electrons, as well as 53 protons. To become an ion, it has to gain or lose electrons (in this case, I will gain an electron). I does this rather readily, as it only needs one more electron in order to completely fill the 5p shell. When it acquires this 54 electron, it becomes the iodide ion (I-).

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.

Solid iodine is composed of I2 molecules. See link for how these are arranged in the crystal lattice.
