thanks for your help, i finally got it!

yes...protons are positive and electrons are negative but electrons aren't in the nucleus so that's why i was using protons

Hi, this problem is killing me. What is the total charge of the radon nucleus? (The neutral radon atom has 86 electrons.) The units is in Coulombs so I figured since they were asking for the charge of just the nucleus then it would be 86 protons times -1.6x10^-19 C. But that didn't work...

oh my god, sorry i didn't see that sticky about hw. I'll post somewhere else...sorry!
