“私のお母さんとさつきちゃんのお母さ ともだち んは友達なんですか” Wouldn’t なの also work for this sentence, instead of just なん?

Hi, despite the fact that ん can be used instead of の, from what I understand from the example phrases, ん always requires ですか (or I’m guessing だか) after it - I mean contrary to の that can be used to end the question phrase. Is this true or can you also end a phrase with ん? It would be great if you could add an explanation regarding this, and maybe some relevant example phrases for ん used with the casual form (んだか - or simply んだ(?)). Thank you!
