ion
In terms of what, weight, atom count, charge...
No matter where an electron happens to be -- in an atom, outside of an atom, near an atom -- its charge will ALWAYS be negative one atomic charge.
The neutral atom hasn't a charge.
Carrying charge means it is an ION, not an atom
The nucleus of an atom does have a positive charge, yes. If you're asking what particle is in the nucleus and has a positive charge, "proton" is probably the answer you're looking for. (There are more esoteric possible answers if we're liberal about our terms.)
When an atom has an electric charge it is called an ion.
When an atom has an electric charge it is called an ion.
When an atom has an electric charge it is called an ion.

The nucleus of an atom has a positive charge.The protons in the nucleus of an atom are charged oppositely from the electrons in the cloud around them. By convention, their charge is defined as "positive" while the charge on the electrons is defined as "negative".

The mass number of an isotope of an element is defined as the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of each atom of the isotope. The atomic number is defined as the number of protons only in the nucleus. Therefore, an atom with an atomic number. Since neutrons have no electric charge, the nuclear charge of the specified atom is 17 amu.
In terms of what, weight, atom count, charge...
In simple terms, an atom is made up of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. Protons have positive charge (+1), Neutrons have no charge (0), and Electrons have negative charge (-1). If an atom gains or loses Electrons, it's net charge changes. To result in a negative charge, the atom must have more Electrons than Protons.

Electricity is defined as the rapid movement of electrons from one atom to another, (multiplied by millions of times), which then creates an electrical charge. The force that causes the electrons to move from atom to atom is voltage.
