    I (iodine)

    Generally electron affinity increases from left to right across a period. Thus P (to the left of S in the same period) has a lower electron affinity thens S

    And electron affinity decreases as you go down a group. Thus Se (below S in the same group) has a lower electron affinity then S.

    Iodine, is in group 7A (or 17) which is to the right of group 6A (or 16), where sulfur lives). It has a higher electron affinity then S.

    Google electron affinity for tables showing what an elements actualy affinity is.
