No, protons and electrons are not the same. They both are important in chemistry. The proton has a positive elementary charge, while the electron has a negative elementary charge. Electrons are much smaller than protons. Protons can be found in the nucleus of an atom (along with neutrons most of the time-- the exception is the element Hydrogen with just a proton and an electron), while electrons orbit around the nucleus.
