●Since the specie has more no. of electrons than protons,
therefore, the -ve nature of the element will prevail (because electrons are negatively charged)
●Also 11 electrons means , its configuration will be 2,8,1.
Hence , it will lose its1 e- and become positively charged ion (CATION)

It is anion in nature
Explanation:
Electronic configuration is defined as the representation of electrons around the nucleus of an atom.
Number of electrons in an atom is determined by the atomic number of that atom.
Ions are formed when an atom looses or gains electrons.
When an atom looses electrons, it will form a positive ion known as cation.
When an atom gains electrons, it will form a negative ion known as anion.
Thus as the species X has 17 protons and 18 electrons, it is a ion.
