Most metal iodides with the metal in low oxidation states (+1 to +3) are ionic. Nonmetals tend to form covalent molecular iodides, as do metals in high oxidation states from +3 and above. Both ionic and covalent iodides are known for metals in oxidation state +3 (e.g. scandium iodide...
Iodine exists in the surface waters predominantly as dissolved iodate, iodide, and a small amount of organic iodine. The concentration of iodine in surface waters (rivers, lakes) is between 0.1 and 18 μg l−1; in rainwater it is between 0.1 and 15 μg l−1, and in groundwater the...

exists mainly as a non-sorbing anion, and is produced by cosmogenic, thermonuclear, and in-situ reactions. In hydrologic studies, 129I concentrations are usually reported as the ratio of 129I to total I (which is virtually all 127I). As is the case with 36Cl/Cl, 129I/I ratios ...
Iodineis a non-metallic halogen element (symbol I; atomic no 53) which exists as a near-black solid but readily sublimates, giving a purple-colored vapor. It is found in nature both free (for example in large amounts inseaweedssuch as kelp and in low concentrations in sea-water) and ...
It exists in the form of NaIO3 and Ca (IO3) 2. Iodine has the characteristics of metal. Iodate that has been known so far includes iodine iodide, iodic acid perchlorate and iodine acetate and so on. Iodine precipitates in the cathode when iodine acetate solution is electrolyzed, which ...
The current state of our nation’s health is not good – in fact I’d call it downright appalling. Here’s the bottom line:For the first time in nearly a century, average life expectancy is actually falling. Diseases that were practically unknown a century ago are now major killers – he...
“Environmental stress such as chemical pollutants, pesticides, mercury, and fluoride are also tough on the thyroid. A growing body of evidence suggests that fluoride, which is prevalent in toothpaste and water treatment, may inhibit the functioning of the thyroid gland. ...
160 Although explosive in its pure state, iodine azide can be handled as a 0.25 M solution in polar organic solvents.161 In most cases, reaction with alkenes generates the products of anti-iodo-azidination (Eq. 2), which are proposed to arise from the ring opening of an iodonium ...
