Which elements likely conduct electricity well? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
chromium
B
iodine
C
carbon
D
calcium
E
osmium

Explanation

Metals generally conduct electricity well because their electrons can move through the material. Chromium, calcium, and osmium are metals, so they are the best choices. Iodine is a nonmetal, and carbon is generally classified as a nonmetal; although graphite (one form of carbon) conducts electricity, carbon is not usually selected as a good conductor in this kind of classification question.
