the electrons
An atom is an individual particle made of protons(positively charged particles), electrons(negatively charged particles) and neutrons(particles with no charge). The type of atom depends on the number of protons in the nucleus(the centre of the atom). An element is all atoms of the same type.
An atom's nucleus contains two types of particles. The first is protons, which carry a negative charge. The second type of particle is the neutron, which has a neutral charge. These two particles are about equal in mass.

Neutrons (no charge) and protons (positive charge) are found in the nucleus. Electrons (negative charge) are found in the electron cloud of an atom.
Protons are a type of subatomic particle, which are found in the nucleus of every atom. Protons have an electrical charge of +1. A proton is about 2000 times heavier than an electron.
Particles found in the nucleus of an atom are named as nucleons. There are mainly two type of nucleons. They are protons and neutrons. Protons are having positive charge but neutron is chargeless. To keep these nucleons together a particle known as pi mesons are exchanged between the nucleons.

No. An electron is a fundamental particle with a charge of -1. Electrons are in "clouds" around the central positively charged nucleus of an atom.
That depends on the type of decay. For example, if it emits an alpha particle, which has a charge of +2, the atom's charge would change to -2. However, it will probably soon lose the two extra electrons, to become neutral again.
