Sodium iodide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (286 words) |
 | Sodium iodide is a white, crystalline salt with chemical formula NaI used in radiation dectection, treatment of iodine deficiency, and as a catalyst in the Finkelstein reaction. |
| Sodium iodide is commonly used to treat and prevent iodine deficiency. |
| Sodium iodide crystals doped with thallium, NaI(Tl), when subjected to ionising radiation, emit photons (scintillate) and are used in scintillation detectors, traditionally in nuclear medicine, geophysics, nuclear physics, environmental measurements, etc. NaI(Tl) is the most widely used scintillation material and has the highest light output. |

| Sodium iodide is very soluble in water and also in many organic solvents like aliphatic alcohols or benzyl alcohol and glycerine; it turns a typical yellow colour when it comes into contact with fire. |
| Sodium iodide is fundamental in medicine to treat thyroid disorders; it is well tolerated and not very irritating to the stomach. |
| Sodium iodide occurs as crystals or as a crystalline powder that turn yellow on exposure to air due to the development of iodine. |
