Yes - e.g. Hydrogen has one proton AND one electron (to balance the proton's positive charge with the electron's negative charge). The chemical properties of elements are therefore determined by the number of Electrons in the atom's shell (and therefore Protons in the atom's nucleus).
However neutrally (uncharged) particles may share the atom's nucleus with the Protons. These particles are called Neutrons - the numbers of these present in the nucleus form the ISOTOPES of each element.

∙ 11y agoNo, if you mean are there two elements with the sme number of protons.
Yes if you mean do any elements have the same number of protons as neutrons. Look at the Periodic Table there are quite a few of the lighter element where the number is the same but above atomic number 20 there are more neutrons in stable isotpes of an elemnt.

Can two different element have the same number of proton?
Two different will always have different numbers of protons as the number of protons defines which element an atom is. However, two isotopes of different elements can have the same number of neutrons. For example the isotope carbon-13 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons while nitrogen-14 has 7 protons and 7 neutrons.
What are elements with identical number for protons and different number of neutrons called?
The answer you are looking for is "isotopes" HOWEVER, please note you CAN NOT HAVE 2 elements with the same number of PROTONS. This is because the number of protons DEFINES an element. Isotopes are the SAME element but with differing numbers of neutrons.
What is the name given to atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons?
Atoms of the same element cannot have different numbers of protons. Different numbers of protons mean different elements. An atom with the a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.
Do isotopes of carbon have the same number of neutrons and different numbers of protons?
No, it is just the other way around!All isotopes of one particular element have the same number of protons (specific for that element) but are differing in neutron number.Example:Uranium has 92 protons (same as atomic number),butisotope U(235) has 143 neutrons and 92 protons (143+92=235)andisotope U(238) has 146 neutrons and 92 protons (146+92=238).
Is the number of protons equal to the number of neutrons in an atom?
The number of neutrons in an atom CAN be equal to the number of protons and electrons, BUT IT IS NOT ALWAYS. You can find the number of neutrons in an atom by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number. The number is often the same among the lighter elements, but the ratio of neutrons to protons quickly grows larger than one (on average) as you go further along the periodic table.
How do protons and neutrons relate to an elements atomic number?
The atomic number is the same as the number of protons. It is unrelated to the number of neutrons.
What are elements having same number of protons and neutrons called as?
Carbon Number of Protons/Electrons: 6 Number of Neutrons: 6
What element is composed of atoms with the same number of neutrons or protons?
Ideally, all elements should have the same number of protons, neutrons and electrons unless they become ionic. This is how elements such as the noble gases remain stable. They the same number of electrons, protons, and neutrons, and a full octet.
How are elements determind?
Elelments are determined by the amount of protons they have. While different elements can have the same number of neutrons and protons, no two different elements can have the same amount of protons.
Can 2 different elements have the same neutrons and protons?
Each chemical element has a different number of protons; the number of neutrons can be similar.
Can two different element have the same number of proton?
Two different will always have different numbers of protons as the number of protons defines which element an atom is. However, two isotopes of different elements can have the same number of neutrons. For example the isotope carbon-13 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons while nitrogen-14 has 7 protons and 7 neutrons.
What name is given to elements of the same number of protons but different number of neutrons?
IsotopeIsotopes
If two atoms with the same number of protons and different neutrons are they still the same element?
Yes, elements are groups of atoms with the same number of protons.
Does there have to be the same number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus?
No. Even atoms of the same element will vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus. For example, carbon (6 protons) has isotopes with 6, 7, and 8 neutrons. The most common isotope of hydrogen (1 proton) does not have any neutrons. While the most common isotopes of the lighter elements generally have the same number of protons and neutrons, heavier elements will have more neutrons than protons. For example the most common most stable isotope of uranium (92 protons) has 146 neutrons.
What are isodiapheres?
Isodiapheres are nuclides which have the same difference in the number of neutrons and protons or nuclei with same neutron excess.
What are elements with identical number for protons and different number of neutrons called?
The answer you are looking for is "isotopes" HOWEVER, please note you CAN NOT HAVE 2 elements with the same number of PROTONS. This is because the number of protons DEFINES an element. Isotopes are the SAME element but with differing numbers of neutrons.
If two elements have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons can they be atoms of the same element.?
Yes. If two atoms have the same number of protons then by definition they are the same element.
