Talk:Iodate

For calcium iodate shouldn't it read: Ca(IO3)2? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.255.75.143 (talk • contribs)

Yes, calcium iodate should be Ca(IO3)2. In fact, having taught several years, at the college level, I see that this whole page needs to see replacement of the word "iodite" with "iodate" because "iodite" refers to a completely different ion, IO2-, an unstable ion with only a fleeting existence; see any textbook, such as any edition of Inorganic Chemistry by Shriver, Atkins and Langford (I have the 2nd edition, 1994, W. H. Freeman & Sons), or any graduate-level text. Whiteashprof (talk) 14:17, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Abundance
Being commercially useful doesn't make iodate the most abundant. The earth has waaay more water than ore deposits, so I'd assume the statement about iodide in water contradicts this 2600:1700:B270:75C0:C0CA:53D:FB7F:B52C (talk) 03:56, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
