1. Periodic acid

   Periodic acid ( per-eye-OD-ik) is the highest oxoacid of iodine, in which the iodine exists in oxidation state +7. It can exist in two forms: orthoperiodic acid, with the chemical formula H5IO6, and metaperiodic acid, which has the formula HIO4. Periodic acid was discovered by Heinrich Gustav Magnus and C. F. Ammermüller in 1833.

1. periodic acid

   Periodic acid is a strong oxidizing agent, often used in organic chemistry. Its chemical formula is HIO4 or H5IO6. It is part of the oxyacid family, which are acids that contain oxygen. In its solid form, periodic acid forms white crystals and in solution, it is colorless. It's most commonly used in scientific laboratories for its oxidative properties.

1. Periodic acid

   Periodic acid, or iodic acid is an oxoacid of iodine having chemical formula HIO4 or H5IO6. In dilute aqueous solution, periodic acid exists as discrete hydronium and metaperiodate ions. When more concentrated, orthoperiodic acid, H5IO6, is formed; this dissociates into hydronium and orthoperiodate ions. In practice, the metaperiodate and orthoperiodate ions co-exist in a pH-dependent chemical equilibrium:−5−+ Orthoperiodic acid can be obtained as a crystalline solid that can be dehydrated to metaperiodic acid, HIO4. Further heating gives diiodine pentoxide and oxygen rather than the expected anhydride diiodine heptoxide; this anhydride does not occur in nature but can be formed synthetically. There being two forms of periodic acid, it follows that two types of periodate salts are formed. For example, sodium metaperiodate, NaIO4, can be synthesised from HIO4 while sodium orthoperiodate, Na5IO6 can be synthesised from H5IO6. Metaperiodates have solubilities and chemical properties similar to perchlorates though they are less oxidizing than perchlorates. Periodic acid is used in organic chemistry for structural analysis. Periodic acid will cleave vicinal diols into two aldehyde or ketone fragments. This can be useful in determining the structure of carbohydrates. It is also used in organic synthesis as an oxidising agent of moderate strength.
