Iodine is a chemical element with symbol I and atomic number 53. The name is from Greek á¼°Î¿ÎµÎ¹Î´Î®Ï ioeidÄs, meaning violet or purple, due to the color of elemental iodine vapor. Iodine and its compounds are primarily used in nutrition, and industrially in the production of acetic acid and certain polymers. Iodine's relatively high atomic number, low toxicity, and ease of attachment to organic compounds have made it a part of many X-ray contrast materials in modern medicine.
