Radon is an inert gas. It does not want to loan our or borrow electrons, so it is reluctant to form an ion. We usually don't speak of the ionic charge of radon because it doesn't want to react chemically with anything. It could be said to have an ionic charge or oxidation state of zero. (That's neither positive or negative. It does not want to loan out or borrow electrons.)
