What does IODOUS mean in Scrabble?
adjective
chemistry
Of, containing, or relating to iodine, especially in its lower valency state, as in iodous acid.
Chemists reserve iodous for cases where the halogen sits at a lower valency than in the far more common iodic compounds, following the same -ous/-ic pattern used elsewhere in chemistry, as with sulphurous and sulphuric acid. A compound named this way behaves differently in reactions than its higher-valency counterpart, even though both share the same underlying element. Outside a chemistry lab, the term almost never comes up.
