Hypoiodous acid is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula H I O.It forms when an aqueous solution of iodine is treated with mercuric or silver salts.It rapidly decomposes by disproportionation: [2]
Iodites (including iodous acid) are highly unstable and have been observed [1] but never isolated. [citation needed] They will rapidly disproportionate to molecular iodine and iodates. [2]

Periodic acid (/ ˌ p ɜːr aɪ ˈ ɒ d ɪ k / per-eye-OD-ik) is the highest oxoacid of iodine, in which the iodine exists in oxidation state +7. It can exist in two forms: orthoperiodic acid, with the chemical formula H 5 IO 6, and metaperiodic acid, which has the formula HIO 4.
Iodic acid is a white water-soluble solid with the chemical formula HIO 3.Its robustness contrasts with the instability of chloric acid and bromic acid.Iodic acid features iodine in the oxidation state +5 and is one of the most stable oxo-acids of the halogens.
Iodine pentoxide (I 2 O 5). Iodine oxides are chemical compounds of oxygen and iodine.Iodine has only two stable oxides which are isolatable in bulk, iodine tetroxide and iodine pentoxide, but a number of other oxides are formed in trace quantities or have been hypothesized to exist.
Chemical nomenclature, replete as it is with compounds with very complex names, is a repository for some names that may be considered unusual. A browse through the Physical Constants of Organic Compounds in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (a fundamental resource) will reveal not just the whimsical work of chemists, but the sometimes peculiar compound names that occur as the ...
