Taking both will lead to a new, neutral element.

Taking away an electron will make it positively charged, and taking away a proton will make it negatively charged.

Removing both of these make it neutral, and it forms an element one atomic number smaller.

What happens when you had a proton to the nucleus of an atom?

Im thinking you mean add instead of had? well when you add a proton it becomes a different element because each element has a different number of protons. When you add electrons or take away electrons they become ions. If the neutrons in the nucleus changes it becomes an isotope. To conclude, each element has its own unique proton count.
