Why does yellow iodide turn blue when it touches starch?

1 answer:

4 0

Amylose in starch is responsible for the formation of a deep blue color in the presence of iodine. The iodine molecule slips inside of the amylose coil. ... This makes a linear triiodide ion complex with is soluble that slips into the coil of the starch causing an intense blue-black color. I got this from google for a more detailed response, and hope this helps!

choli [55]

Answer:

2m/s²

Explanation:

When an object starts or at its state of rest it has an Initial speed U = 0

Final speed = 6m/s

total time taken for the acceleration = 3s

Acceleration =?

Acceleration is the change in velocity (speed) with time

Time rate of change of velocity

Acceleration = Change in Speed(velocity)

Time taken

Hence,

Acceleration =  V - U 

a = 6 - 0

a = 6 

a = 2m/s²

Harman [31]

Halogens are a group of elements consisting of Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine. In their ionic form, they have a superscript of -1, for example, chloride ion is Cl-1. These means that they readily accept one electron in order to achieve the Octet rule. The Octet rule states that each atom must contain 8 electrons in their valence shell for it to be stable. The most stable set of elements are the noble gases. Because they already fulfill the Octet rule, they no longer take part in reactions. Halogens are also very electronegative, meaning, they attract more electrons toward them. This is also a consequence of the Octet rule.

From the choices, the answers would be:
they require only one electron to complete their outer shell
they have a high electronegativity

Answer:

PET works by using a scanning device (a machine with a large hole at its center) to detect photons (subatomic particles) emitted by a radionuclide in the organ or tissue being examined.

Newer technology combines PET and CT into one scanner, known as PET/CT. PET/CT shows particular promise in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, evaluating epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease and coronary artery disease.
