Answer

Iodine is an element that is a shiny grey solid and can be seen subliming slightly at RTP (Room Temperature and Pressure) into a purple-pink gas. Unless in solution, it is never a liquid.

Is iodine a solid lidquid or gas?

Iodine is a solid at room temperature and pressure. It sublimes directly from a solid to a gas when heated without passing through a liquid phase.


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.


The chemical equation of iodine solid to gas?

The chemical equation for the sublimation of iodine solid to iodine gas is: I2(s) -> I2(g). This represents the process in which solid iodine directly transforms into iodine gas without going through a liquid phase.


What are the names of the three states of iodine?

The three states of iodine are solid, liquid, and gas. At room temperature, iodine is a solid with a dark purple color. When heated, it sublimes directly from a solid to a purple-violet gas.


What is lodine solid gas or liquid?

Iodine is a solid at room temperature. It sublimes directly from solid to gas without melting.


What are some substances that can change directly from gas to solid states?

Iodine does not go through a liquid when changing phase. Carbon dioxide does not go through liquid phase. Both iodine and carbon dioxide sublime from a solid to a gas and condense from the gas to a solid.


What changes a solid to a gas or vapor without changing to a liquid?

Iodine I2


Iodine sublimes what does this mean?

Sublimation is the process where a substance changes directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase. In the case of iodine, when it is heated, it transforms from a solid to a purple gas without forming a liquid.


Is Iodine a soild or gas?

Elemental iodine is a solid. But it is a volatile solid in that chemists will use solid iodine in a chamber to "iodine stain" substances in thin layer chromatography. Thus iodine is like having a volatile solid.


What state of matter is iodine at room temperature?

At room temperature iodine is a solid halogen.


Is Iodine a metal or nonmetal?

Iodine is a nonmetal but it can be found in solid forms. Iodine experiences sublimation which is the transition from solid to gas, therefore it skips the liquid form.


Why is liquid iodine not visible if crystals are heated in the open air?

When iodine crystals are heated in open air, they sublimate directly from solid to gas without passing through a liquid phase, which means they skip the liquid state. This process is called sublimation. So, liquid iodine is not visible because it transforms directly from solid crystals to a gaseous form.
