The I 2 molecules in iodine are not very soluble in water because they are not opposite in terms of polarity. I 2 is non-polar whereas H2 O is polar. But when KI is added to water containing ioidne form a polar compound i.e. KI3, which is composed of K + and I 3 - ions. As the compound become polar or ionic therefore it dissolves in polar solvent i.e. water.
