Which notations represent different isotopes of the element sodium?
A
32S and 34S
B
S2-and S6+
C
Na+ and Na0
D
22Na and 23Na
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Isotopes are atoms of the same element that contain an identical number of protons, but a different number of neutrons. Thus, isotopes have same atomic number (Z), but different mass number (A).

Detailed explanation-2: -Sodium-23 atom is the stable isotope of sodium with relative atomic mass 22.989770, 100 atom percent natural abundance and nuclear spin 3/2. A member of the alkali group of metals. It has the atomic symbol Na, atomic number 11, and atomic weight 23.

Detailed explanation-3: -The atomic number of sodium is 11, while the number of neutrons in its nucleus is 12. Sodium’s atomic mass is 11 + 12 = 23. As a result, 1 mole of sodium equals 23 grams.
