Iodine is a bluish-black crystalline solid with a metallic lustre. Iodine is not obtained in blocks or lumps like other elements, but in shiny flakes or granules that can be easily crushed into a powder.

Iodine is always found combined with other elements, either in the form of inorganic salts or in the form of quite complex organic compounds, such as thyroxine. Iodine is used in a wide variety of commercial and scientific uses, and is primarily used in the imaging, pharmaceutical, and biocide industries, together totalling an estimated 50% of yearly iodine use. Iodine is also greatly important for human nutrition, as iodine deficiency can cause thyroid-related illnesses and possible mental retardation.
