Question

When Iodine ( $ {{I}_{2}} $ ) is mixed with water, the water dissolves some iodine by forming a temporary charge. Does the oxygen from water bond with the Iodine or does the hydrogen?

Answer 1

Hint: Iodine is a chemical element with atomic number 53 and the symbol I. Under normal circumstances, it exists as a semi-lustrous, non-metallic solid that melts to create a deep violet liquid at 114 degrees Celsius and boils to form a violet gas at 184 degrees Celsius. Iodine is found in a variety of oxidation states, including iodide ( $ {{I}^{-}} $ ), iodate ( $ I{{O}_{3}}^{-} $ ), and periodate anions.

Complete answer:
The attractive interactions between the positive ends of one polar molecule and the negative ends of another polar molecule are known as dipole-dipole forces. The intensity of dipole-dipole forces varies from 5 kJ to 20 kJ per mole. They are significantly weaker than ionic or covalent interactions, and they only have a noticeable effect when the molecules are near together (touching or almost touching).
The colour of pure iodine is violet. When iodine is dissolved in a nonpolar solution, it retains its violet colour. Dipole-induced dipole interactions exist between iodine and water, in which either end of the water dipole can generate a transient dipole in the iodine molecule. Iodine, on the other hand, can function as a Lewis acid (an electron acceptor).
The interaction with the oxygen end of water becomes more critical since water is a Lewis base due to its lone pair electrons. The molecules can form a loosely bound Lewis-type charge transfer complex in which electrons from the water to the iodine are partially transferred.

The colour of light absorbed varies as the complex forms.
Instead of being violet, an iodine solution in water is yellow-brown.

Note:
Aqueous iodine, commonly known as strong iodine solution or Lugol's iodine, is a potassium iodide and iodine solution in water. It's a medicine and disinfectant that may be used for a variety of things. It is used to treat thyrotoxicosis until surgery can be performed, to protect the thyroid gland from radioactive iodine, and to treat iodine shortage when taken by mouth. It is used to aid in the detection of cervical cancer when administered to the cervix. It can be used to disinfect tiny wounds, such as a needle stick injury. A little quantity can also be used to disinfect drinking water in an emergency.
