@FordPrefect23 Nitrogen iodide! I used to make it as a kid. I think normal household ammonia is about 880 grade. I couldn't get hold of iodine as such, but I could get potassium iodide from the chemists. Mix this with a bit of dilute sulphuric acid, i.e. battery acid and add an oxidising agent, hydrogen peroxide. Iodine came out of solution and if you heated it up and put a flask of cold water over the mouth of the reaction vessel, pure iodine would sublimate onto the cold surface of the flask.

@r1ccardo Boots the chemist has ammonia in stock which is about the best you'll get. Where did you find iodine crystals? Normally that requires something like a prescription making ammonia tri iodide a bugger to produce.

....not very articulate to calling someone out as an idiot. Now that I've pulled your card, be sure to impress us when you put it down.

@blorgyboy It depends on which isotope of I who are talking about, but during beta- decay, a neutron becomes a proton so you get Xenon. If it is beta+ decay then a proton becomes a neutron and you get Tellurium.

does anyone here know what daughter products come from Iodine as a result of beta decay?

It's hard to get now and they are regulated but you can make it with hydrochloric acid, potassium iodide dissolved in water, and 3% hydrogen peroxide.

The asian peoples get a lot more iodine in their diet and are healthier for it.
