Are protons and electrons grouped together in an atom?

NO, protons and neutrons are in the centre of an atom and the electrons are spinning round on the outside of an atom. protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, this why they cannot be together. However, neutrons have no charge, that is why they are combined with the protons.
