========== So now you can see the reactionÃs really
going and itÃs really exothermic,weÃre forming aluminium triiodide, and the
exotherm is actually heatingand starting to sublime off the excess iodine
which you can see comingoff as this really nice purple plume.Iodine is this beautifully-coloured element.
It has this beautiful purplecolour. If you put it in solution, the colour
of the solution variesdepending what you dissolve it in. If you
dissolve it in water, itÃs a sort-ofdirty brown colour. If you dissolve it in
an organic material likechloroform or carbon tetrachloride it is a
beautiful purple colour.Iodine is halide, a halogen element from the
far right-hand side of theperiodic table and it's strongly oxidising
in nature. Likes to nick electro...
