The picture of Au₃N is attached below.
The first part of the picture shows the formation of Au and N ions.
Formation of Au⁺¹ :
As Gold has one valence electron in 6s¹ therefore, it will loose it to form Au⁺¹. In case of Au₃N three atoms of Au looses three electrons to form three Au⁺¹ ions.
Formation of N⁻³ :
As Nitrogen has 5 valence elctrions therefore, it will gain three electrons that lost by Au to form Nitrite (i.e. N⁻³)
Formation of Au₃N:
Three cations of Au⁺ combines with one anion of N⁻³ to form a neutral ionic compound i.e. Au₃N as shown in second part of the picture.
Take the attached picture of a periodic table as a guide. You are finding for a solid metal. Therefore, streamline your choices by looking at elements written in black bold letters, because they are all solid. Next, if you look at the center, the legend for metals are colors in orange, yellow, flesh, lavender, pink, and cyan blue. These region would be your choices. Next, you want to find a metal that is shiny and ductile. The shiny appearance is a common characteristic of luster by materials. Ductility is the ability of a metal to stretch when under tensile stress. These properties are best exhibited by metals in the transitions metals colored in pink. Therefore, the answer to your question would be any of the metal in the pink area. Examples are Titanium, Chromium, Gold, Silver, Platinum, Tungsten, etc.
