"As many as it has electrons" (if there are a different number of protons to electrons then it has a net charge and it is an ion, not an atom)

All atoms have at least one proton.

The number of protons defines which atom it is, hydrogen atoms have 1 proton, helium atoms have 2, lithium 3 and so on...

And it depends what the atomic number is.
