The Rusenski Lom (, ) is a river in northeastern Bulgaria, the last major right tributary of the Danube. Its length is 55 km but reaches 197 km if its right constituent river the Beli Lom is included. Geography The river is formed by the confluence of two constituent rivers, the Beli Lom (147 km, left) and the Cherni Lom (130 km, right), at an altitude of 47 m some 3.2 km east of the village of Ivanovo, Ruse Province. It flows in direction north–northwest through the Danubian Plain in a deep canyon-like valley cut in Aptian limestones. The Rusenski Lom forms numerous meanders due to its small mean slope of 0.62 m/km. Although the length of the river is 55 km, in straight line the distance between its source and mouth is only 17.6 km. It flows into the Danube at an altitude of 16 m in the outskirts of the city of Ruse. With the two constituent rivers included, its drainage basin covers a territory of 2,874 km2 or 0.4% ...

Ruse, Bulgaria

I-2 Road (Bulgaria)
An iodide ion is I−. Compounds with iodine in formal oxidation state −1 are called iodides. In everyday life, iodide is most commonly encountered as a component of iodized salt, which many governments mandate. Worldwide, iodine deficiency affects two billion people and is the leading preventable cause of intellectual disability. Structure and characteristics of inorganic iodides Iodide is one of the largest monatomic anions. It is assigned a radius of around 206 picometers. For comparison, the lighter halides are considerably smaller: bromide (196 pm), chloride (181 pm), and fluoride (133 pm). In part because of its size, iodide forms relatively weak bonds with most elements. Most iodide salts are soluble in water, but often less so than the related chlorides and bromides. Iodide, being large, is less hydrophilic compared to the smaller anions. One consequence of this is that sodium iodide is highly soluble in acetone, whereas sodium chloride is not. The low ...
