Iodine is a halogen within the atomic number 53. Its symbol is I. Iodine is an essential ion in the body and helps the thyroid produce specific hormones. Although it is a metallic solid at room temperature it forms a brilliant purple gas when heat is applied to it.

Iodine is also an essential element for animals to produce thyroid hormones. This is why some countries have started to produce and sell iodized salt in order to ensure adequate consumption of the element. Iodine is also used as an effective disinfectant although how it specifically works is unknown.

Safety

We get asked about the radioactivity and overall safety of the periodic tables/cubes from time to time. These are legitimate concerns and we wanted to address those concerns here. Although there are several elements in the cubes that are dangerous or toxic, the acrylic and glass ampules make the products safe to handle and store.

The average American is exposed to 0.034 mrem/hr from background radiation (300 mrem/year). In other words, a person will get three times the radiation from natural background radiation which includes the sun, food, radon, and the environment, than they will from holding a radioactive element in one of our Lucite Acrylic displays.
