In the solid state, iodine molecules are held together by intermolecular forces, which create a larger average distance between the atoms compared to when they are in the gaseous state and are free to move independently of one another. The intermolecular forces in the solid, such as Van der Waals forces, result in a longer bond distance between the iodine atoms.

Why the iodine-iodine bond distance of gaseous is lesser than solid?

think in the gaseous phase there are other forces acting atoms of iodine like inter moleculer forces due to wich bond distance increases. in case of gasous state there are no other force acting on the molecule of iodine axcept electrostatic force between two atoms of iodine . so in case of gase elctrostatic force is more than in the case of solid..

Is iodine a conductor in molten state?

No, iodine is not a conductor in its molten state. Iodine is a non-metal and does not conduct electricity, whether in solid, liquid or gaseous state.


Does iodine have dull appearance?

Iodine typically has a shiny appearance, especially in its solid crystalline form. However, when iodine is in a gaseous state, it appears as a purple vapor.


What is the structure of solid iodine?

in the solid state the molecules of iodine align in the form of layer lattics. I-I bond distance is 271.5pm and it is appreciably longer than in gaseous iodin which is 266.6 pm and iodine is poor conductor of electricity/


How do you make iodine gas back to solid iodine?

After the iodine is in gaseous form, contain and cap it off with an iced container to recollect it and turn it back into a solid by allowing the gas to rest. The temperature then has to be below 113.5°C in order to solidify.

What element is a halogen whose crystals sublime?

Iodine is a halogen whose crystals sublime. When iodine is heated, it changes directly from a solid to a gaseous state without passing through a liquid phase.
