When iodine is added to a starch solution, the iodine molecules will interact with the starch molecules through a process called iodine-starch complex formation. This complex leads to a characteristic color change from the initial colorless solution to a dark blue-black color, indicating the presence of starch in the solution.

On a molecular level, iodine does not affect starch, but there is a colour change, from yellow to blue-black.
