Two atoms that have the same number of protons are called isotopes.
Proton Number
The number of protons.
Yes, surely the same + and - charge
The number of protons in the nucleus will ALWAYS be the same for a specific element.(ex: Hydrogen always has EXACTLY 1 proton)But, the number of electons and neutrons can vary in a particular element.
An element is composed of atoms all with the same proton number(they are the same type). The only way the atoms in an element can vary is in the number of neutrons they have.
isotopes Atoms of the same element are called Isotopes. they have the same number of atoms (i.e. same atomic number) but different number of neutrons

Two atoms that have the same number of protons are called isotopes.
atoms had gained or lost one or more electron are called ions. so no. the number of neutron and proton don't change. unless it was isotope you are talking about. they have the same atomic number but different atomic mass, which means different number of neutron.
Wrong! For example we take on hydrogen atom which has 1 proton in his nucleus and one electron 'gravitating'(gravitating is not an appropriate word because of the quantum origin of all elementary particles, as they can be expressed both either parcitle if they are observed, or a wave) In nature there is a "heavy" atom of hydrogen which is called deuterium. It has 1 proton and 1 neutron in its nucleus. There are 3 types of hydrogen atoms known. The pattern is the same for almost all elements.
The Proton number defines the element, so there cannot be two atoms of the same element with different proton numbers, because they will be, by definition, different elements. Neutron numbers can differ though. When one element has different neutron configurations, these are called Isotopes.
Well, when two elements have the same number of protons, they are atoms of the same element. Each element has its unique proton number. If an atom has 1 atom, it is called Hydrogen. If it has 2, it is called Helium. If it has 20, it is called Calcium. However, the number of neutrons may differ. For example, in the case of Hydrogen, it may have no neutron, 1 neutron or 2 neutrons, and still be called Hydrogen. However, they are called 'isotopes', meaning members of the same element(same number of proton), but having different neutron numbers.
