Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Iodophors are organic carrier complexes that release iodine slowly and are water-soluble. They eliminate skin burns and irritation associated with the use of pure iodine or tinctures. Iodides are salts of iodine and do not form complexes with organic carriers. Tinctures are solutions of iodine in alcohol and do not form complexes with carriers. Iodochromes are not a common term in the context of iodine chemistry.
