What state is iodine?

Solid in room temperature.


Why is it physical change when purple iodine appears when solid iodine is warmed?

Because the Iodine is undergoing a phase change, which is a physical change. The Iodine is going from a solid to a liquid (I presume), and it's changing color. Those are both examples of physical changes. Phase changes are easily reversible without the use of energy, you could just freeze the iodine, and have the solid again. As for the color change, that's true for a lot of elements, like Mercury. This is not an example of a chemical change because not only is it easily reversible, but because no new substance is formed. You still only have Iodine, but in a different phase, and in a different color.


How does iodine crystal changes into vapours?

Iodine sublimes- i.e it changes from solid to gas without going though a liquid phase.

Is color a physical change?

Only if the color change is not permanent. Take Iodine for example (that's pronounced Eye-oh-deen), it is a solid metal that is grayish in color in its solid state, however in its gas state it's a purple or violet color. Once it reverts to its solid state, it turns gray again. This is a PHYSICAL property of Iodine. If the color changed permanently to something else, it would be a chemical change.
