Question

through which element would someone most likely receive a shock?
○ iodine (i)
○ sulfur (s)
○ phosphorus (p)
○ chromium (cr)

Explanation:

To determine which element someone is most likely to receive a shock from, we need to identify which is a metal (as metals are good conductors of electricity, allowing electric current to pass and cause a shock). Iodine (I) is a non - metal (halogen), sulfur (S) is a non - metal, phosphorus (P) is a non - metal, while chromium (Cr) is a metal. Metals have free electrons that can conduct electricity, so a person is more likely to get a shock through a metal like chromium.

Answer:

D. chromium (Cr)
