Every atom has a symbol and some are easy to figure out. Especially if you already know its name.
But what do you do when you only know its atomic number? Like... what is the atom symbol whose atomic number is 53?
The answer is Iodine (I). However there are a lot of interesting facts about Iodine that people don't know. Let me show you:
