There is a wrong close in:

nav a {
font-weight: 800;
padding: 15px, 10px:
:
}

To close a style you have to use ( ; ) instead ( : ), also dont separate the padding px with a coma.

anyways you are setting the padding to the ( a ), not to the ( li ). Solution:

nav li {
display: inline-block;
padding: 15px 10px;
}

nav a {
font-weight: 800;
}

For a direction understanding of padding :

padding: top right bottom left;

If you want so set only top and bottom use this example:

nav li {
padding: 10px 0 10px 0;
}
