The chemical element, Radon, has an atomic number of 86, meaning it has 86 protons. Were there an isotope of Radon that had 136 neutrons, it would be labeled as 222Rn. Well, it turns out that this isotope does exist and has a half-life of 3.82 days.
Any atom, ion, or isotope with 12 protons is going to be magnesium. Only the number of protons in the nucleus will determine the element. But with the information about the number of neutrons, the specific isotope can also be determined - 22Mg.
The basic unit of any element is considered to be an atom that is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Any particle with 24 protons, despite the number of neutrons or the charge, is chromium.
The isotope boron-11 has 5 protons and 6 neutrons, but also 5 electrons not 8.
The element that has 8 protons and 8 neutrons is oxygen.
Neutrons are completely separate from protons, so neutrons do not have any protons, and protons do not have any neutrons.
The atomic number of a chemical element is equal to the number of electrons or protons. The number of neutrons = Atomic weight of an isotope (rounded) - atomic number of the element (or the number of protons)

The Atom consists of a certain amount of electrons, protons and usually neutrons. The amount of each of these sub-atomic particles is what makes an element that specific element. Actually, it is only the protons. The number of neutrons and/or electrons can vary, and it is still the same element. The one thing that makes an element that specific element is only the number of protons.

The element that has 8 protons and 8 neutrons is oxygen.
The protons and neutrons of cobalt just like any other element are located in the nucleus whereas the electrons are located in the energy shells.
Potassium has the atomic number 19; that means it has 19 protons. The number of neutrons - as with any element - depends on the specific isotope. For more details, check the Wikipedia article on "Isotopes of potassium".
23 Protons and 28 Neutrons. The atomic number is always equal to the number of protons in an element. The element is vanadium (symbol V). Any atom with 23 protons is be vanadium, but some vanadium atoms will have more or less than 28 neutrons. The mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons together, and this can vary for the same element (called isotopes). To find the number of neutrons, just subract the atomic number from the mass number.
