Answer:

A positive charge of +1

Step-by-step explanation:

The charge carried by atom depends on the number of protons and electrons present. The neutrons are not charged hence they do not contribute to the net charge of the specie.

The specie mentioned in the question has six protons and five electrons. Hence it has an excess of one positive charge hence a net charge of +1.
