Linda,
YES!
Iodine, sublimed or otherwise, is a
strong
oxidizing agent; in fact, it is one of the strongest solid
oxidizers.

Is sublimed crystalline iodine corrosive
enough to
corrode a metal trap in a sink. The teacher ran water over the iodine
for
about 15 min. I know iodine is not very water soluble. The hole in the
sink
trap occurred overnight after iodine was put in the sink.
