Iodine is necessary for the production of thyroid hormones, which play a crucial role in the development and functioning of the brain and nervous system. Infants have a higher iodine requirement compared to adults, as their bodies are growing rapidly and their thyroid glands are still developing.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">2: <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">What is unusual about iodine?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Answer: <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">One unusual property of iodine is its ability to undergo sublimation. Sublimation is the process by which a substance directly transitions from a solid to a gas phase without passing through the liquid phase.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">In the case of iodine, it has a relatively low boiling point of 184.3 degrees Celsius (357.7 degrees Fahrenheit) and a high vapour pressure at room temperature. This means that when solid iodine is exposed to air or heated, it undergoes sublimation and transforms directly into a purple-coloured gas without melting into a liquid.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">3:<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Why is iodine stored in a dark bottle?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Answer: <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">odine is often stored in a dark bottle to protect it from light. Light, especially ultraviolet (UV) light, can cause a photochemical reaction that can degrade iodine over time. This degradation may result in the formation of iodine vapour or other iodine compounds, which can reduce its potency and effectiveness.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">4: <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">What colour is iodine in milk?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Answer: <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">When iodine is added to milk, it can cause a colour change, turning the milk a yellowish-brown colour. This reaction occurs due to the reaction between iodine and certain components present in the milk, such as proteins and fats.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">5: <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Which gives no colour with iodine?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Answer: <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Glycogen, a polysaccharide storage form of glucose in animals, does not give a colour reaction with iodine. Unlike starch, which forms a deep blue or black colour complex with iodine, glycogen does not have the same affinity for iodine.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">When iodine is added to a solution containing glycogen, there will be no significant colour change observed.

It is primarily obtained from underground deposits of minerals such as caliche ore and brine pools. Iodine-rich soils and rocks can also contribute to the iodine content in groundwater and surface water. Additionally, seaweed and other marine organisms are known to accumulate iodine from seawater, making them a natural source of iodine.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">7: What is I<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">2<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> called in chemistry? <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Answer: In chemistry, I<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">2 <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">is called &#8220;diiodine&#8221; or simply &#8220;iodine.&#8221; It is a molecular form of iodine composed of two iodine atoms bonded together.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">8: Why is it called iodine?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Answer: The element iodine is named after the Greek word &#8220;iodes,&#8221; which means violet-colored.
