A cation.
An ion with a positive charge is called a cation, and has a superscript + sign to the right of it An ion with a negative charge is called an anion, and has a superscript - sign to the right of it
Protons of an atom carry a positive charge. Electrons carry a negative charge. Neutrons carry no charge at all, but they are part of the atom.
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
An ion is a particle that carries a charge, either positive or negative, due to losing or gaining electrons. It can be a single atom or a group of atoms that have an overall charge. A molecule is a group of atoms held together by chemical bonds and may or may not carry a charge.
Zinc ion (cation) is positive.
because it gains an electron
A positive ion, which is the same thing as "an ion with a positive charge", is called a "cation".
The charge of an atom is determined by the balance of protons and electrons it contains. Protons carry a positive charge while electrons carry a negative charge. When an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, it is electrically neutral. If an atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes an ion with a net positive or negative charge.

positive charge/ Na+
The ion would have a positive charge if it has more protons than electrons. Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an excess of protons will result in an overall positive charge for the ion.
The charge of the ion is +4, because it has 4 more protons than electrons. Protons carry a positive charge of +1 each, while electrons carry a negative charge of -1.
