| Quote (Albatrossity2 @ Sep. 26 2008,20:00) | Failing to follow my own advice, here's a question for the chemists on the forum...
What is the molecular basis for the color change seen when iodine is added to starch or cellulose?
We do this iodine test in our class too; coincidentally we did it just today. But when a student asked me how that worked, I couldn't answer. Google has been marginally useful; there is the most informative link that I've found so far.
If you know the answer, and can deliver it at a level that a college freshman accounting major might understand, I'd like to hear it!

I'll be on the case tomorrow!
Not only that, the post about bonding etc should be forthcoming. If not fifthcoming.
I are currently drunk, therefore not going to attempt it.
Will I be allowed to use words like "hypervalent" and "oxidation state"?
