Solution

Isotopes are the atoms of the same chemical elements with different mass numbers.
Tin is a carbon family (group-14) member with atomic number 50.
Electronic configuration: 2, 8, 18, 18, 4.
The symbol of tin is Sn.
Tin has the maximum number of stable isotopes.
It has a total of 10 isotopes.
Isotopes of tin are;tin-112, tin-114, tin-115, tin-116, tin-117, tin-118, tin-119, tin-120, tin-122, tin-124.
