Potassium iodide is KI, so it's containing potassium (K) and iodine (I).

Corrected:

Not: Oxygen

Whenever the chemical name ends with 'ide' it means that oxygen is NOT present within the compound.

Is potassium iodide ionic or molecular?

Potassium is K1+, and Iodine is I1-. As a result, Potassium iodide is made. It's ionic becuase Potassium has a positive charge, so it needs one more electron to have its orbitals filled. Iodine on the other hand, has an electron that isn't needed. If Iodine can give up its electron, then all of its orbitals will be filled. As a result, iodine gives it's extra electron to the potassium, and they both have filled orbitals. When an electron is being given and accepted, that's called an ionic bond. So Potassium iodide is ionic.


Is potassium iodide the same as iodine?

No, potassium iodide is a white salt formula KI and is a compound. Iodine is an intense deep purple - black solid, formula I2 and is an element. Potassium Iodide is nonvolatile but Iodine is quite volatile and vapour is given off even in the solid state at room temperature.


What happened when you mix a solution of hydrogen peroxide and saturated potassium iodide with washing up liquid?

When a solution of hydrogen peroxide and saturated potassium iodide is mixed with washing up liquid, it produces oxygen gas rapidly due to the reaction between hydrogen peroxide and potassium iodide as a catalyst. The washing up liquid helps to trap the oxygen gas in the form of bubbles, creating a foamy reaction.

What are the differences between the compounds and elements that make potasssium iodide?

Potassium Iodide is made up of two elements : Potassium and Iodine. Potassium is a alkali metal while Iodine is non metallic and halogen. Potassium is strongly basic, while Iodine is strongly acidic. In this compound potassium is in +1 oxidation state, while iodine is in -1. Aqueous solution of Potassium Iodide can dissolve Iodine to make Potassium Tri-iodide, KI3, which is brownish in colour.


Is iodide and potassium iodide the same?

No, iodide refers to the ion I-, whereas potassium iodide is a chemical compound made up of both potassium (K+) and iodide ions (I-). When iodide is combined with potassium as in potassium iodide, the resulting compound has different properties and uses compared to just iodide alone.
