You can't have negative number of electrons. Besides, 1010x10-19 is not 1029.

If you get the right answer for number 3 then you will get the right answer for number 4 as the steps are correct for number 4. Use a calculator for number 3 if you need to, putting all the scientific notation terms in parenthesis between each operation.
