Iodine pentoxide, I2O5 is the most stable of the oxides of iodine. It is a white solid that is very hygroscopic. It is formed by direct reaction of the elements in a glow discharge, but is most conveniently prepared by dehydrating iodic acid at 200 °C.[1] Above 300 °C, it decomposes to the elements.
