Question

statement 1: The starch - i2 is blue green in colour
statement 2: starch can hold i2 molecules in the helical portion​

Answer 1

Answer:

All statements are correct. Starch can hold I2 (iodine) molecules in the helical portion. The starch-I2 is blue in colour. Cellulose does not contain complex helices and hence cannot hold I2 and hence remain colourless.
