Potassium iodate Potassium iodate Potassium iodate (KIO) is a chemical compound. It is ionic, made up of K ions and IO ions in a 1:1 ratio. Potassium iodate is an oxidizing agent and as such it can cause fires if in contact with combustible materials or reducing agents. It can be prepared by reacting a potassium-containing base such as potassium hydroxide with iodic acid, for example: It can also be prepared by adding iodine to a hot, concentrated solution of potassium hydroxide. Or by fusing potassium iodide with potassium chlorate, bromate or perchlorate, the melt is extracted with water and potassium iodate
Systematic element name of each root, converting the first to a capital. This results in three-letter symbols instead of the one- or two-letter symbols used for named elements. , all 118 discovered elements have received individual permanent names and symbols, so currently, systematic names and symbols are only used for the undiscovered elements beyond element 118, oganesson. Systematic element name A systematic element name is the temporary name assigned to a newly synthesized or not yet synthesized chemical element. A systematic symbol is also derived from this name. In chemistry, a transuranic element receives a permanent name and symbol only after its synthesis
