At what distance from a carbon nucleus is the electric potential 1.8 V? Carbon atoms have 6 electrons in the atomic shell

...im very confused with this question, please help!

I have consulted with to professional PhD physicists on this, they and I are of the opinion your teacher as asked a question that has no easy answer. You have to have a model for the electron cloud around the nucleus, and with a probability distribution, this is going to be NOT introductory physics modeling or analysis. Perhaps your teacher had something in mind other than what was really asked. Sorry.

u use the equation V=kq/r......where k is 8.99*10^9 and q=1.6*10^-19 but remember to multiply q by 6 and solve for r
