The startch and iodine molecule interact- the electron energy levels are affected on the iodine enough to change the absorption spectrim and hence the color.

Why does the leaf change colour with iodine?
It turns black because starch is present because its making it because of photsynthesis
Why isn't starch present when colour is light brown?
The Iodine test uses Iodine solution, which is usually a brown colour. It is used to test for the presence of Starch. Iodine solution, iodine dissolved in an aqueous solution of potassium iodide, reacts with starch producing a blue black color. If the sample being tested doesn't turn blue-black, then starch isn't present.
Will cooked rice turned dark blue with iodine solution?
Yes -cooked rice has starch present which is a natural indicator for Iodine
What effect does iodine have on starch?
it will turn the starch into blue black colour
What is the colour of starch after iodine has been added?
The color of starch after iodine has been added is deep blue to black.
What colors does starch turn if there is a little amount present?
starch will not change its own colour but it can change the colour of iodine solution. iodine solution is originally brown. after adding starch, it will turn into dark blue.
What colour changes where observed with each food tested with iodine?
It change from orange/brown colour to blue/black if starch is present
Why does the leaf change colour with iodine?
It turns black because starch is present because its making it because of photsynthesis
Why do you need to add iodine solution to a specimen?
Iodine solution is commonly used to test for starch. If starch is present in a substance (e.g. a leaf which undergone photosynthesis) then the iodien solution would turn blue black. If no starch is present then it remains as light brown.
Why isn't starch present when colour is light brown?
The Iodine test uses Iodine solution, which is usually a brown colour. It is used to test for the presence of Starch. Iodine solution, iodine dissolved in an aqueous solution of potassium iodide, reacts with starch producing a blue black color.

What color is starch with iodine solution?
it is a yellowish/orange colour but when iodine is present, than it will turn an dark-blue/black colour
Why meat remains brown when iodine is present?
Meat does not contain starch. Without starch there is nothing to cause the brown iodine to change color.
What is the product of the reaction between starch and iodine?
There is a dark blue colour when iodine is added to starch instead of a yellow sort of colour when iodine is added to a substance without starch.
Why did each of the solutions turn iodine blueblack at the start of the experiments?
Iodine is famous for testing of the presence of starch. I would assume starch is present in the solution, therefore iodine would turn blue. Originally, the colour of iodine solution is brown.
What observations do you need to expect if starch is present when testing leaf for starch?
It can be observed that when testing for starch their must be a olour change of blue black after iodine solution was added.Before the colour change was green that changed to blue black of the whole procedure is been carried out.
Will cooked rice turned dark blue with iodine solution?
Yes -cooked rice has starch present which is a natural indicator for Iodine
Why does starch turn blue with iodine?
the iodine does not turn the starch black."The iodine clock reaction is based around the colour change that occurs when iodine reacts with starch, turning from a clear colour to a black-blue colour." (2) The starch allows the iodine and the iodide ions to bond, forming a triodide ion.I2(aq) + I−(aq) ⇌ I3−(aq)In this reaction, iodide is viewed as a base, and iodine is viewed as an acid.The iodine is a ligand and is surrounded by the starch,as for the colour change, that is due to the iodine absorbing all light wavelengths corresponding to colours, hence not letting any through, so what you are seeing when the solution is black, is the absence of light and colour alltogether,hope that helps
