No they don't. Stability correlates to the amount of electrons in the outer shell. The most stable fulfill the octet rule and have six electrons on their outer shell, these are the noble gases. Anyways, it gets really nitpicky but the short answer is no.

Does the nucleus of an atom have protons neutrons electron?

no, they don't. instead they make up the nucleus of the atom. protons and neutrons are made of quarks, which are held together by gluons.which means that the nuceuls and electrons together make the atom.

What is the neutron and proton responsible for in an atom?

Protons make up the identity of the element and give it its unique properties. Protons have a positive charge. Neutrons give an atom additional mass, and the number of neutrons in an atom make it an isotope of an element. Neutrons have no charge.
