The heating element found inside a flashlight bulb is typically made of tungsten, which has a high melting point and can withstand the heat generated in the bulb. Nechrom is not a common material used in flashlight bulbs.
As an element oxygen is neutral, but it forms negative ions.
The electron affinity of an element can be either positive or negative, depending on whether the element tends to gain or lose electrons when forming chemical bonds.
If an element is missing one electron, which is defined as having a negative charge, then the element is a positively charged ion. If an element gains an extra electron, it will have a negative charge and be a negative ion. An element with an equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons is considered to be a neutral element (in other words, no charge). By the way, no charge for this answer!
The metallic element that serves as the negative pole in a common flashlight battery is zinc.
The center electrode post of an ordinary flashlight battery is typically made of carbon. This post plays a crucial role in conducting electricity from the battery to power the device.

We find carbon or graphite as the center electrode of a zinc-carbon battery. It's the "common" battery we use in lots of stuff (but not an alkaline battery). That center electrode is the positive one, and the zinc makes up the outer or negative electrode in this battery. In an alkaline battery, manganese dioxide is the center, or the cathode (positive electrode). Powdered zinc will be found as the outer or negative electrode (anode).
Carbon is the reference element for the definition of the mole. In electrochemistry, the reference element/electrode is the Hydrogen electrode and all electrode potentials are against the hydrogen standard.
The element forming at the cathode will depend on what elements are present. Reduction takes place at the cathode, so whatever element is being reduced, that is the one that will be produced at the cathode.
current flows from the negative to the positive cable and back into the battery cells, recombining with the element depleted of electrons that are flowing out the negative cable. The process is not 100% efficient and the battery will eventually cease producing current.

When a capacitor is discharging, current is flowing out of the capacitor to other elements in the circuit, similar to a battery. Current flowing out of an element, by convention, is defined as negative current, while current flowing into an element, such as a resistor, is defined as positive current. Thus a discharging capacitor will always have a negative current.
The unknown element is neither a battery nor a resistor.
A flashlight bulb typically contains a tungsten filament as the heating element. When electricity passes through the filament, it heats up and produces light through incandescence.
