By the early 1890s, the Pinkerton National Detective Agency employed more agents than there were members of the United States Army.
Iodine monochloride is the chemical compound with the formula ICl. It is a red-brown compound that melts near room temperature. Because of the difference in the electronegativity of iodine and chlorine, ICl is highly polar and behaves as a source of I+. Â»
However, iodine contains only one type of atom (all its atoms have the same number of protons). Thu â¦ s, iodine is an element, not a compound. However, free Iodine only exists as a diatomic molecule at standard conditions. I2 is how you write the formula of the Iodine molecule. It is definitely molecular but, depending on how you define compound, it might not fit that definition because it is all the same type of atom.
