Sodium (Na) and Magnesium (Mg)
Explanation:
The number of neutrons in an element can be found by subtracting the atomic number (number of protons) by the mass number (number of nucleons).
Sodium's atomic number is 11 and its mass number is 23.
Checking magnesium: Atomic number = 12
Mass number is 24
Therefore, the elements with 12 neutrons are sodium and magnesium.
