chemistryarchaic
An older spelling of iodine, the chemical element used especially as an antiseptic applied to wounds.
Nineteenth and early twentieth century medical and chemical texts commonly wrote iodin where modern writing uses iodine, particularly in the phrase tincture of iodin, a solution once painted onto cuts and surgical sites to prevent infection. Chemically the substance is identical to modern iodine, a dark, crystalline nonmetal that turns into a violet vapor when heated. The older spelling has almost entirely disappeared from current scientific and medical writing.
