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.
