What does IODID mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistryarchaic
An older spelling of iodide, a chemical compound formed from iodine combined with another element.
Iodid appears in older chemistry and medical texts, particularly from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, before spelling settled on the now-standard form iodide. Compounds named this way, such as potassium iodid, were once common in medicine, especially for treating certain thyroid and respiratory conditions. Modern chemistry writing almost always uses iodide instead, so a reader encountering iodid today is most likely looking at an older source or a historical reprint.
