jodidiionien
Jodidiionien, often referred to as iodide ions, are chemical species with the chemical formula I⁻. They are anions, meaning they carry a negative electrical charge. This negative charge arises from a neutral iodine atom gaining an electron. Iodine itself is a halogen, located in Group 17 of the periodic table. As a group, halogens are known for their tendency to gain an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
In aqueous solutions, iodide ions are soluble and are common components of various natural and synthetic substances.
Iodide ions are also utilized in various industrial and medical applications. In medicine, potassium iodide is
