Iodine naturally occurs in the environment chiefly as a dissolved iodide in seawater, although it is also found in some minerals and soils. This element also exists in small amounts in the mineral caliche, found in Chile, between the Andes and the sea. A type of seaweed, kelp, tends to be high in iodine as well. Organoiodine compounds are produced by marine life forms, the most notable being iodomethane (commonly called methyl iodide). The total iodomethane that is produced by the marine environment, by microbial activitiy in rice paddies and by the burning of biological material is estimated to be 214 kilotonnes. The volatile iodomethane is broken up by oxidation reactions in the atmosphere and a global iodine cycle is established. In the several places in which iodine occures in nature only two are used as source for iodine: the caliche, found in Chile and the iodine containing brines of gas and oil fields, especially in Japan and the United States.
Iodine is a halogen. Single atom has 53 protons.
Tincture of iodine is a mixture of iodine dissolved in a potassium iodide solution. Iodine is the pure compound. At room temperate, iodine is quite unstable and tends to sublime. The tincture of iodine KI3 is used to stabilize iodine in certain experiments and as a reagent.
The iodine anion is iodide. (I^(-)).
Iodine is added to salt of table so Iodine is rare.
Iodine
Iodine crystal is solid Iodine. Iodine solution is when Iodine crystals are dissolved in water.
iodine
Iodine ion is not consumed; in the first step the iodine ion is oxidized to iodine, in the second step iodine is reduced to iodine ion.
Iodine is a halogen. Single atom has 53 protons.
The solute in tincture of iodine is iodine.
Iodine is not a metal.
Tincture of iodine is a mixture of iodine dissolved in a potassium iodide solution. Iodine is the pure compound. At room temperate, iodine is quite unstable and tends to sublime. The tincture of iodine KI3 is used to stabilize iodine in certain experiments and as a reagent.
Iodine-131 is a radioactive isotope of the element iodine.
The iodine anion is iodide. (I^(-)).
Iodine
The name of this compound is iodine heptafluoride.
Starch has high affinity for Iodine and in presence of iodine crystals starch turns blue from being colourless. This the fundamental that is used for chemically identifying the starch.
