Through which element would someone most likely receive a shock?

Answer
A
iodine (I)
B
sulfur (S)
C
phosphorus (P)
D
chromium (Cr)

Explanation

Chromium is a metal, and metals conduct electricity well, so contact with an energized chromium object is most likely to allow an electric shock. Iodine, sulfur, and phosphorus are nonmetals and generally do not conduct electricity as well.
