Status update:

1818: It's about time! Finally in France Bernard Courtois discovered me! For all my medical uses, you'd think they'd want me sooner.

1830: Hasta Lavista Goiter! Scientists discovered that I'm great for preventing goiter.

March 2006: My deficiency is still a public health problem.

11/4/13: When Bromine and I reacted in the equation: I2 + Br2 → 2 IBr   Despite all the changes we went through, we didn't lose mass like the Law of Conservation of Mass states.


Overview:

My Atomic Number is 53, my atomic symbol is "I" and I'm in the halogen group. I am a shiny silver solid at room temperature. When I'm heated to a gas I am a rich purple color. I was discovered by Bernard Courtois in France. I dissolve readily in chloroform and dissolve slightly in water.

Information: 

 

Relationship Status: 

11/4/13 In a relationship

Primary Relationship: 

Bonded with Bromine

network: 

I'm in the non-metal network

valence electrons:

I have seven valence electrons

reactivity: I am less reactive, less than other halogens. Commonly combines with Alkali metals, including Potassium creating Potassium Iodine.
state of matter:  I'm solid at room temperature 
Location on Periodic Table: Group 17 Period 5 

Birthday: 

 I was discovered in 1811

Hometown: 

I was discovered by Bernard Courtois in France 

Movies: 

Dora's journey to the planet Iodine: A very Purple Situation 

Activities & Interests:

One of my uses is Radiation Exposure, because I help reduce the harmful accumulation of radioactive substances in the thyroid. Another one of my uses is my purpose as a sterilizing agent when it's used to clean wounds and to purify water. Nascent atomic iodine supplemants boost overall thyroid health and prevent Goiter. Goiter is  the throat area and thyroid gland.

 

I react with air, water, halogens, acids, and bases. That doesn't leave any room for things I don't react with.

 


Places:

10/18/13 Checking at the Northside Hospital for a blood drive, lots of people need their arms cleaned.

12/31/13 Vegies, wow, people sure like there leafy greens salty! 

7/4/13 I love the beach! All this salt water in the ocean is a great place for me!

11/4/13 Checking in after reacting with bromine: I2 + Br2 → 2 IBr

This is when I was heated to a liquid before turning into a gas.

You can go to get something and read all about me too. 

Wow! I'm like a rainbow! 

I like things salty, too bad she's dropping it on the ground! 

Never thought I'd see the guys that found me first!
