If the atomic number of an element X is 11 and that of nitrogen is 7, the most likely formula of the nitride of X is

This is it:The one with atomic number 11 has its breakdown as 2,8,1 while Nitrogen with atomic number 7 has its breakdown as 2,5

2,8,1 has no unpaired electron while 2,5 remains 3 to be fully paired

Therefore you swap the remaining 3 with the first element with atomic number 11 and the 1 with nitrogen making it X3N
