When iodine is heated does any iodine melt?
iodine is a substance that has an unusual property, it has the ability to sublimate, this means that it converts directly from a solid to a gas with no liquid stage at all. So no, no iodine will "melt" into a liquid, it will insted turn into a purple gas.
Can you melt a crystal?
Yeah, you can melt anything if you get it hot enough. Be sure not to confuse the terms crystal and mineral. A crystal is made of a mineral, the fact that it is a crystal, simply means that it's atoms are arranged in a periodical and static way, in the crystal structure. This structure falls apart as soon as the mineral melts, so a molten mineral can not be called a crystal.

What is the measurement of how much heat energy is required for a substance to melt?
heat of fusion
Is iodine a poor conductor of electricity a poor conductor of heat and requires a small amount of heat to melt?
Yes. These are typical properties of nonmetals.

Does crystal meth melt in water?
Crystal meth does not melt in water,It dissolves in water without needing to be heated.Crystal meth is highly souble in water ,therefore it will dissolve in water without heat.
How much energy is needed to melt 254 grams of l2?
This is a trick question because "I2" is the chemical symbol for MOLECULAR iodine (your question did not say melt Iodine, it said melt I2).Only gaseous iodine is composed of I2 molecules and as it is a gas it CAN NOT melt.
