Several come to mind. They are both found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge. They are nearly the same size, though neutrons are a bit larger. The sum of the protons and neutrons in an isotope of an element is its mass number.
Atoms having the same number of protons and neutrons make up the same element.
Carbon Number of Protons/Electrons: 6 Number of Neutrons: 6
Neutrons have the same mass as a proton and be electrically neutral. Protons and neutrons have almost the same mass.
You are prolly asking this for an online true/false test or something, but the answer is no, not necessarily. They do always have the same number of electrons and protons however.
The sum of all Protons and Neutrons.

They are the neutrons. They are in middlem, in nucleus
Protons and neutrons have near identical mass. One will not have to account for the difference in mass in most calculations.

Periods neither have same protons nor neutrons. They have same shells.

No. Protons, neutrons, and electrons are subatomic particles found in atoms. Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of an atom, while electrons 'orbit' the nucleus. Protons and neutrons are very nearly the same mass (1.672 x 10^(-27) kg for protons, 1.674 x 10^(-27) kg for neutrons) while electrons are far smaller (9.109 x 10^(-31) kg). Protons have a charge of +1, electrons have a charge of -1, and neutrons are (as their name suggests) neutral.
The mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus. Protons are a part of the nucleus, but not the entire thing. Neutrons are also in the nucleus and have nearly the same mass as protons.
