Iodine is called an indicator because when iodine is in a substance that was sprayed it indicates that diffusion has occured by the smell spreading in the room.
I2 is called as molecular iodine
Osmosis
When iodine atoms bond with other iodine atoms, the bond type is called a covalent bond. In this case, two iodine atoms share a pair of electrons, resulting in the formation of a diatomic molecule (I₂). This type of bonding occurs because both iodine atoms have the same electronegativity, allowing for an equal sharing of electrons.
No. Thyroxine is also called as tetraiodothyronine. So thyroxine has four iodine atoms and triiodothyronine has three iodine atoms.
Tincture of iodine or iodine tincture is a disinfectant, it is also called weak iodine solution. Usually 2–7% elemental iodine, along with potassium iodide or sodium iodide, dissolved in a mixture of ethanol and water. It was used from 1908 in pre-operative skin preparation by surgeon Antonio Grossich.

Iodine has 53 protons. Iodine 126 has 126 - 53 = 74 neutrons. So iodine 126 is called iodine 16 because it has 53 protons and 74 neutrons. There are other types of iodine, called neuclides of iodine, which have different numbers of neutrons. All of them have 53 protons. So iodine 141 has 53 protons and 141 - 53 = 88 neutrons.
The name of this compound is iodine heptafluoride.
A solution of iodine and alcohol is called iodine tincture or tincture of iodine. It is commonly used as an antiseptic to prevent infection in minor cuts and scrapes.
I2
An iodine ion is named based on its charge. If it has a -1 charge, it is called an iodide ion. If it has a +1 charge, it is called an iodine ion.
The liquid used to test for starch is called iodine solution. Iodine solution turns a blue-black color in the presence of starch.
The thyroid processes iodine.
Iodine typically forms a negatively charged ion called iodide (I-).
Osmosis
ICl is called iodine monochloride because it contains one iodine atom and one chlorine atom. The prefix "mono-" is used to indicate that there is only one of each element present in the compound. Using "iodine chloride" would not be accurate as it implies a varying ratio of iodine to chlorine atoms.
Iodine belongs to group 17. It is in the family called the halogens.
