The nucleus is made of protons, neutrons and electrons. These element move in and out of the nucleus depending on the external environment.
Protons and neutrons ar fomed from quarks and are not considered as fundamental particles; they are components of the atomic nucleus.

The difference between isotopes of the same element have to do with the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the atom. Isotopes are atoms of an element that contain the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons and therefore different mass.
Although the number of protons in the nuclei of the atoms of an element is constant, the number of neutrons varies in general. For instance, hydrogen comes in three forms, known as isotopes, one with no neutrons in its nucleus, one with one neutron and one isotope with two neutrons in its nucleus.
americium
There are a couple elements who could have isotopes with 148 neutrons. The most stable isotopes of both americium and plutonium have 148 neutrons.
All neutrons (of all elements) are located in the nucleus (as all ptotons are)
The nucleus is made of protons, neutrons and electrons. These element move in and out of the nucleus depending on the external environment.

The smallest unit that shows the properties of an element is an atom, and yes, an atom has protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons. Different amount of neutrons- Isotopes. Different amount of protons- Different element.
All elements have neutrons and protons within the nucleus.
There is no simple answer.The mass of a nucleus depends on the number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus. The number of protons in the nucleus depends on the element. Moreover, the number of neutrons can vary between isotopes of the same element.
The only element that has one proton and no neutrons is a hydrogen atom.
