As a solid, liquid, gas, or solution? Oh well.

  • Solid - Iodine is a blue/black shiny crystalline substance
  • Liquid - Iodine is a purple liquid
  • Gas - Iodine is a lovely violet vapor (but don't inhale it, the effects are like chlorine)
  • Solution - Most Iodine solutions are brown, although I recently saw one that was clear.

Is grinding of mercury and iodine physical change or chemical change?

Grinding mercury or iodine would be a physical change - you are changing the shape but not the element. However, grinding mercury with iodine may be a chemical change if you end up with mercury iodide through a chemical reaction. Incidentally, I don't recommend actually trying this - mercury is a liquid at room temperature (it is also called quicksilver for this reason) and is very toxic to humans.
