Zinc and Iodine, in the presence of acidified water, react chemically to form Zinc Iodide (ZnI2) solution. The atoms of Zinc and Iodine form an ionic bond, with Zinc becoming attracted to two Iodide ions. The water can be removed via heat and we are left with a white solid, Zinc Iodide sold. 2. The physical and chemical properties for some were the same and for some it was different. The color of the Zinc Iodide is different (white, while Iodine is gray and Zinc is silvery), while ZnI2 is as odorless as Zn is (I2 has a pungent odor). ZnI2 does not react chemically with mineral oil the same way I2 does (no purple color
