Zinc has an atomic number of 30, so his is element number 30. The notation for isotopes is the symbol of the element with a superscript and a subscript that are aligned. The superscript represents the mass number.

Mass number = protons + neutrons = 30 + 37 = 67

The subscript is the atomic number which is 30. The notation is written in the picture attached.
