COMMON KNOWLEDGE
Legacy classification; evidence review pending
Recorded sources
no sources on either side

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that iodine exhibits different colors in different solvents due to solvation effects?

The fact that iodine changes color in different solvents due to solvatochromism and donor-acceptor interactions is a standard textbook observation, so no citation is needed.
