Solution

The best option would be to make a mixture of equal parts nitrogen and oxygen gases. This is because a compound with the chemical formula NO would have different properties than either nitrogen or oxygen gas due to the chemical bonding between the nitrogen and oxygen atoms. A new element with an atomic number midway between those of nitrogen and oxygen does not exist. Therefore, a mixture of equal parts nitrogen and oxygen gases would have properties midway between those of nitrogen and oxygen gases.
