Iodine's atomic number is 53 whereas tellurium's is 52. Atomic number is basically the number of protons that an element has. Therefore, as iodine has more protons than tellurium, it appears later in the table.

There is no more of an explanation for why an iodine atom has one more proton than a tellurium atom than there is for the formation of any different elements. The number of protons (atomic number) is the defining characteristic of elements between other elements.

Why can iodine be used in the visualization of TLC spots?

The majority of compounds adsorb iodine and become visible if exposed to iodine vapor. Although reaction may take place with some unsaturated compounds, for the vast majority of compounds, the iodine appears to be physically bound to the material and does not chemically react. The after carrying out the elution process the plate is dried and placed in an enclosure containing iodine crystals and is preferably heated to about 50oC. Brown spots appear where the solutes are situated. When the plate is removed from the enclosure, the spots rapidly disappear and so this detection technique appears to be essentially non-destructive. This detection procedure can be improved by first exposing the plate to a very high concentration of iodine vapor, the plate is the removed and allowed to stand for a few minutes to allow the excess iodine to evaporate. The plate is then sprayed with a 1% starch solution. As a result the solute bands appear as blue spots on the plate. These methods will detect most organic substances and in particular unsaturated compounds.

Why did Mendeleev swap Tellurium and Iodine around?

Iodine has a lower relative atomic mass than tellurium, meaning it should come before tellurium following Mendeleev's rule. However, in order to place iodine with the elements that consisted of similar properties, he had to put it after tellurium. Thus breaking his own rule.-Hope this helped :)

What happens to iodine when you place its covered container in a warm place?

Placing iodine covered in a warm place could cause sublimation to a cool spot on the container - if the temperature is even on the container walls, if the temperature is warm enough the violet colour of gaseous iodine may be visible.
