Iodine is the non metal which is used in purple colored solution which is applied on wounds as an antiseptic.
Explanation:
Iodine is a non-metal which is purple in color and forms a brown colored solution called tincture when it is reacted with alcohol. This brown colored solution has the anti-septic ability which is used to clean and treat the wound before applying external medication on it. When this solution is applied on the wound, it sterilizes the wound and makes it free from microbial infection and thus prevent the wound from being infected.
