Search Results - Iodine

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Iodine (pronounced /'a?.?da?n/ EYE-o-dyne, /'a?.?d?n/ EYE-o-d?n, or in chemistry /'a?.?di?n/ EYE-o-deen; from Greek ??d?? iodes "violet"), is a chemical element that has the symbol I and atomic number 53. Naturally-occurring iodine is a single isotope with 74 neutrons. Chemically, iodine is the second least reactive of the halogens, and the second most electropositive halogen, trailing behind astatine in both of these categories. However, the element does not occur in the free state in nature. As with all other halogens (members of Group 17 in the periodic table), when freed from its compounds iodine forms diatomic molecules (I2).

Iodine and its compounds are primarily used in medicine, photography, and dyes. Iodine is rare in the solar system and Earth's crust. The iodides are very soluble in water, and the element is concentrated in seawater. This mechanism helps to explain how the element came to be required in trace amounts by all animals and some plants, being the heaviest element commonly used by living organisms (only tungsten, used in enzymes by a few bacteria, is heavier[2][3]).

Iodine under standard conditions is a shiny grey solid. It can be seen apparently sublimating at standard temperatures into a violet-pink gas that has an irritating odor. This halogen forms compounds with many elements, but is less reactive than the other members of its Group VII (halogens) and has some metallic light reflectance.

Elemental iodine dissolves easily in most organic solvents such as hexane or chloroform due to its lack of polarity, but is only slightly soluble in water. However, the solubility of elemental iodine in water can be increased by the addition of potassium iodide. The molecular iodine reacts reversibly with the negative ion, generating the triiodide anion I3- in equilibrium, which is soluble in water. This is also the formulation of some types of medicinal (antiseptic) iodine, although tincture of iodine classically dissolves the element in aqueous ethanol.

1. Got Iodine Salt in that Milk? Unassuming sources of acne aggravate.

12. Speeding Up With Thyroid Hormones - The Effect of Thyroid Hormones on Metabolism
August 03, 2009

The thyroid hormones are known to be able to increase the metabolic rates of many tissues in the body. These hormones are produced by the thyroid gland, a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of the neck directly in front of the trachea. This gland consists of the left and the right lobe, which are both connected by a small connecting branch or the isthmus. The thyroid is unique among the other endocrine glands in that it requires a trace element in the production of its hormones. This trace element is iodine. Another unique feature of the thyroid gland is its ability to sto... (read more)

However, recent studies show that there is much more going on between the cancer of the breast and thyroid function indeed. A Possible Connection The differences i... (read more)

15. Fate of Iodine in Thyroid Hormone Formation - Why Iodine is Necessary For Thyroid Hormone Formation
August 03, 2009

To form sufficient quantities of the thyroid hormone thyroxine or T4, about 50 milligrams of iodine in the form of iodides in the diet is required every year. This just shows how important iodine is in the process of thyroid hormone formation and consequently, the regulation of the body’s metabolism. Iodides in the Diet The iodides available in your food are absorbed in the gastrointestinal in much the same way as chlorides. These are then normally rid of by the kidneys through the urine but not before the thyroid gland gets its share of iodides. This share constitutes about a fifth of t... (read more)

July 07, 2009

Some of the vital body functions we tend to take for granted are growth, development, metabolism, organ function, fertility, etc. The regulation of these vital tasks is due to one tiny endocrine gland – the thyroid - located in your neck just below your Adam's apple.

The thyroid uses Iodine, which can be found in seafood and salt, to make these two hormones. These hormones are extremely important as every cell in the body depends upon thyroid hormones fo...

While the current lipstick may not have been here a century ago, people have been coloring their lips since early history. Nothing has been too precious or noxious to be employed in order to get the wanted look. Lip color was important enough to the people of ancient India to pound semi-precious coffee beans to color their lips. Using a potentially deadly compound of kelp, iodine and bromine mannite, ancient Egyptians colored their lips a purplish-red dye, inspite of the danger to their well being.
