The shorthand notation for a galvanic cell includes the anode and cathode electrodes, separated by a double vertical line, and the phase boundary between the electrolyte and electrode on each side of the cell, separated by a double vertical line. The reactants and products are listed in each half-cell, with the corresponding electrode and electrolyte. Choice D correctly represents the anode (Sn²⁺(aq)) and cathode (F₂(g)) half-cells, as well as the phase boundary between the electrolyte and electrode on each side. The notation also correctly lists the reactants and products in each half-cell. Choices A, B, and C either do not include all the necessary components of the cell or are incorrect in their representation of the half-cells.
