Properties:
Iodine is a non-metallic element that appears as violet-black crystals with a characteristic odor. It sublimes easily at room temperature, producing a violet vapor. It has limited solubility in water but is highly soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, chloroform, and carbon disulfide, forming brown solutions. Iodine is a moderate oxidizing agent and exhibits significant antiseptic properties.
