Answer:

There would be three Lithium atoms per one Nitrogen atom.

3:1

Li3N (Lithium Nitride)

Step-by-step explanation:

Group 15 elements usually have 5 valence electrons, and every atom wants to have a full valence shell of valence electrons. So, nitrogen can get three electrons from each Lithium atom in order to get a full octet.
