About Periodic Acid
Periodic acid is the highest oxoacid of iodine, in which the iodine exists in oxidation state VII. Like all periodates 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.
