X-rays have no electrical charge. They are electromagnetic radiation, as are light, radio waves, etc.
When interacting with matter, x-rays may cause the release of electrons from an atom or molecule, producing an ion pair. One element of an ion pair (the electron) will always have a single negative charge, while the other element (all the rest of the atom or molecule) will have a single positive charge.

Grid controlled X ray tube?
a grid is a device placed in front of the image receptor which only allows xrays to travel directly through from the tube and prevent xrays which have been "scattered" from passing through to the image. This gives a much clearer resulting image. Grids are generally only used on thicker body parts where scattered xrays are more of an issue
