What does IODIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
chemistry
Relating to or derived from iodine, especially a compound in a higher oxidation state than the related iodous form.
Chemists reach for iodic mainly when naming iodic acid, the strong acid formed from iodine at a higher valence than the softer, related acid called iodous acid, and the same ic-ous pairing shows up across many halogen families. This pair mirrors chloric and chlorous, where the ic ending marks the stronger form and the ous ending marks the weaker one. General writing almost never uses this adjective, so it stays confined to laboratory reports and reference works on inorganic chemistry.
