hi soccerballboy! welcome to pf!

How much positive and negative charge are in a 50g Tungsten ring?

ok, so how many atoms are there in the ring?

and how much charge in each atom? ​

 

[soccerballboy]

There are 3 electrons in the outer orbital? and there is -1.6 x 10^-19 C Negative charge in each electron? So do I just multiply those two together?

Does that sound correct?

 

[tiny-tim]

isn't it asking for the charge of all the electrons (ie not just the outer ones)?

(and, separately, all the protons)
