No, they are completely different.
A proton is much larger than and electron and carries a positive charge. Protons can be divided into smaller particles called quarks.
An electron is tiny compared to a proton and carries a negative charge. Electrons are fundamental particles, meaning they cannot be divided into smaller particles.

How many electrons versus protons in an atom?
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
In an atom the number of electrons must be the same as the number of?
protons, because the protons are positive and the electrons are negative so to have a neutral atom the protons and electrons must be balanced
What substance has the same number of protons and electrons?
All neutral atoms have the same number of protons and electrons as they are electrically neutral.
How can you determine the number relate to the protons and electrons of an element?
Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged. Each atom has the same number of electrons as protons.
In atoms electrons and protons are in the same ratio or different ratio?
protons and electrons are identical in number in an atom
Are there the same amount of protons as there are of electrons in and atom?
NoYes. A neutral atom will have the same number of protons and electrons.
How many electrons versus protons in an atom?
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
What atom has the same number of protons and electrons?
Naturally, all elements have the same number of electrons and protons.
In an atom the number of electrons must be the same as the number of?
protons, because the protons are positive and the electrons are negative so to have a neutral atom the protons and electrons must be balanced
Do all atom have the same number of electrons or protons?
No, only atoms of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons.
What is an atom called when you have the same numbers of protons as electrons?
On average, in any atom, you will have the same number of electrons and protons.
Do protons nuetrons and electrons all have about the same mass?
Protons and neutrons have about the same mass, but electrons are much, much lighter.
What substance has the same number of protons and electrons?
All neutral atoms have the same number of protons and electrons as they are electrically neutral.
Do protons have the same charge as electrons?
yes. protons are positively charged. electrons are negatively charged
How many protons electrons does it have?
A "atom" which by definition is electrically neutral, has the same number of electrons as it has protons.
When an atom has seven protons how many electrons does it have?
Generally an atom has the same number of protons and electrons. Nitrogen has seven protons.
Can protons and electrons be in the same conductor?
No
