Correct statements for element X have five valence electrons, is a non-metal and a gas and XH3 reacts with water to form a basic compound.
The element described here tends to be nitrogen with atomic number 7. It lies on the right side of the periodic table and is a gas.
Electronic configuration of N = 2, 5 with 5 valence electrons.
So, it gains 3 electrons to complete its octet and act as a non-metal;
N reacts with hydrogen to form NH3 (ammonia).
When ammonia reacts with water, it yields  NH4OH, a basic compound.
NH3+H2 NH4OH.
