Iodine is added to a solution of white phosphorus in carbon disulfide as solvent to form phosphorus triiodide.
P4 + 6I2 → 4PI3
It would be phosphorus (I) iodide. However, this is not a stable compound; under normal conditions phosphorus and iodine combine to produce phosphorus (III) iodide (which is also not stable ... it's explosive ... but is considerably more stable than phosphorus (I) iodide is). The electron configuration of the phosphorus in PI3 is [Ne]s2, while that of PI is [Ne]s2p2. The filled s subshell is at least metastable, while a filled s subshell plus a partially filled p subshell is normally not and requires considerable effort to maintain.

P3- ion (phosphide ion) is formed
Barium and Phosphorus
Nitrogen triiodide (NI3) has 4 atoms, one of Nitrogen and three of Iodine therefore there are two elements present in NI3.
Yes it is. As are all things

I think it's covalent as the the two elements are both nonmetallic.
Phosphorus triiodide reacts violently with water, so the reaction is exothermic. If a large amount of phosphorus triiodide is mixed, an explosion will most likely occur. If it is a small amount, then it will be similar to the reaction of potassium with water.

PI3
The known phosphorus iodide are P2I4 (diphosphorus tetraiodide) and PI3 (phosphorus triiodide).
nitrogen and iodine
im Pretty sure its covalent. if its not im screwed
Phosphorus was discovered in 1669 by a German scientist called Hennig Brand.
