What is the function of lugol’s iodine?

Lugol’s iodine solution is often used as an antiseptic and disinfectant, a starch indicator, to replenish iodine deficiency, to protect the thyroid gland from radioactive materials (e.g. “fallout”), and for emergency disinfection of drinking water.

What is the element KI?

“KI” is the chemical symbol for potassium (“K”) iodide (“I”) on the Periodic Table of Elements.

How do you make lugol solution?

Dissolve KI in about 20-30 ml of distilled water. Add iodine and heat gently with constant mixing until iodine is dissolved. Dilute to 100 ml with distilled water. Store in amber glass-stoppered bottle in the dark.

How do you dilute Lugol’s iodine?

Dissolve KI in about 20-30 ml of distilled water. Add iodine and heat gently with constant mixing until iodine is dissolved. Dilute to 100 ml with distilled water.

Why is KI ionic?

Potassium iodide (KI) forms an ionic bond. Potassium and iodine have very different electronegativities. The two atoms would form an ionic bond since ionic bonds form between atoms with a large difference in electronegativity (difference>1.7 using the Pauling scale will result in an ionic bond).
