IJ2 is a diatomic molecule, meaning it consists of two iodine atoms bonded together. It is a strong oxidizing agent and is highly reactive with many substances, including metals, sulfur, and phosphorus. IJ2 is commonly used in organic chemistry as a reagent for the synthesis of organic iodine compounds. It is also used in the production of certain pharmaceuticals and in the treatment of certain skin conditions. IJ2 is toxic and can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. It should be handled with care and appropriate safety precautions should be taken when working with it. IJ2 is not flammable, but it can react with combustible materials.
