Courtois was acknowledged by Humphry Davy and Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac as the true discoverer of iodine. In 1822, he began manufacturing high-quality iodine and its salts. In 1831, he was awarded 6,000 francs as part of the Montyon Prize by L'Academie royale des sciences, for the medicinal value of the element. He struggled financially for the ...
Iodine: 1811 B. Courtois: 1811: B. Courtois: Courtois discovered it in the ashes of seaweed. [117] The name iode was given in French by Gay-Lussac and published in 1813. [52] Davy gave it the English name iodine in 1814. [52] 3 Lithium: 1817 A. Arfwedson: 1821 W. T. Brande: Arfwedson, a student of Berzelius, discovered the alkali in petalite. [118]
Arguments erupted between Davy and Gay-Lussac over who identified iodine first, but both scientists acknowledged Courtois as the first to isolate the element. In 1815, Humphry Davy invented the Davy lamp, which allowed miners within coal mines to work safely in the presence of flammable gases.

The iodine clock reaction is a classical chemical clock demonstration experiment to display chemical kinetics in action; it was discovered by Hans Heinrich Landolt in 1886. [1] The iodine clock reaction exists in several variations, which each involve iodine species (iodide ion, free iodine, or iodate ion) and redox reagents in the presence of ...
Iodine is known to be crucial for life in many unicellular organisms [23] Phosphorylated tyrosines created with tyrosine kinases are fundamental signalling molecules in all animals and in Choanoflagellates [21] [22] and may be linked to the usage of tyrosine iodine compounds for similar roles. [23]
Iodine-124 is a proton-rich isotope of iodine with a half-life of 4.18 days. Its modes of decay are: 74.4% electron capture, 25.6% positron emission. 124 I decays to 124 Te. Iodine-124 can be made by numerous nuclear reactions via a cyclotron. The most common starting material used is 124 Te.
