As with all matter, it can be any of these phases depending on temperature and pressure. At STP it is a black solid. Keeping the pressure constant but slowly raising the temperature it sublimes (i.e. transitions directly from solid to gas without becoming liquid) to a violet colored gas.

The triple point (the temperature and pressure at which a material is simultaneously solid, liquid, and gas) of iodine is 386.65 K, 12.1 kPa or 236.30 F, 1.755 psi.

What is iodine vapour?

A "vapor" in chemistry is always the gas phase of a substance that is more familiar in one of its condensed phases: liquid or solid. Therefore, iodine vapor is the gas phase of the element iodine, and has the same molecular composition as the solid, I2. Iodine is a solid at standard temperature and pressure, but sublimes directly to gas phase, without any intermediate liquid phase, at only moderately higher temperatures than the standard.


If Iodine gas heated sublime into purple gas?

When iodine is heated, it sublimates, meaning it transitions directly from a solid to a gas without becoming a liquid. This gas appears purple due to the specific wavelengths of light absorbed and emitted by iodine molecules. The purple color is a characteristic feature of iodine vapor, making it easily identifiable. Upon cooling, the purple gas can condense back into solid iodine, forming dark purple crystals.


Examples of the nine types of solution according to physical state?

Solid in solid: metal alloys. Liquid in liquid: vinegar dissolving in water. Gas in gas: air. Solid in liquid: salt dissolving in water. Liquid in solid: mercury absorbed by gold. Gas in liquid: carbon dioxide dissolving in soda. Solid in gas: smoke particles in air. Liquid in gas: water vapor in air. Gas in solid: hydrogen absorbed by palladium.


What is the purple gas when iodine heated?

When iodine is heated, it sublimates and forms a purple gas known as iodine vapor. This vapor is composed of diatomic iodine molecules (I2) and has a distinctive violet color. The purple gas is an indicator of iodine's transition from solid to gas without passing through a liquid state. Iodine vapor can be harmful if inhaled, so safety precautions should be taken when handling it.

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.


Is Iodine a solid liquid or gas?

AnswerIodine 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.


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.


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.
