Calcium iodide in the air, liberating iodine, which is responsible for the faint yellow color of impure samples. Calcium iodide Calcium iodide (chemical formula CaI) is the ionic compound of calcium and iodine. This colourless deliquescent solid is a salt that is highly soluble in water. Its properties are similar to those for related salts, such as calcium chloride. It is used in photography. It is also used in cat food as a source of iodine.
