The elements you mentioned have the following atomic numbers:

- Element A (atomic number 8) is oxygen (O).
- Element B (atomic number 11) is sodium (Na).
- Element C (atomic number 12) is magnesium (Mg).

When oxygen (O) combines with sodium (Na) to form a compound, they combine in a way that satisfies the octet rule and results in a stable compound. Sodium has a +1 charge (Na⁺), and oxygen typically has a -2 charge (O²⁻) when it forms compounds.

To balance the charges, two sodium ions are needed for every one oxide ion:

\[ \text{2 Na}^+ + \text{O}^{2-} \rightarrow \text{Na}_2\text{O} \]

Thus, the formula for the compound formed by the chemical combination of A (oxygen) and B (sodium) is **Na₂O** (sodium oxide).
