That would be a neutron.
Cadmium is the only neutral atom (not electrically charged) to have 48 electrons.

In 1920, Ernest Rutherford created a hypothesis about the existence of neutrons. However, it is believed that the neutron was first discovered in 1932. The person credited with this discovery was Sir James Chadwick.
The term atom is greek, and a literal translation is un-cut.
Only hydrogen has un-isotopic atoms without a neutron. Hydrogen can sometimes though have one or so neutrons in its isotopes. The other elements must have neutrons to keep the protons from repelling each other in the atom's nucleus.
I do not think so. There are several questions in particle physics that remain un-answered.
The identity of an atom is defined by its Atomic Number, the number of Protons in the Nucleus. If the atom is un-ionized, it will also have the same number of electrons. So, just to be excruciatingly specific, every atom of the same element has exactly the same number of protons.

Carbon IS an atom. I presume you mean how many electrons there are. There are 6 electrons, 6 protons and 6 neutrons in every un-bonded Carbon atom.

In an atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. That is, in the case of an un-ionized, non valence bonded molecule... If the atom were ionized, it could have fewer or less electrons. If the atom were part of a valence bonded molecule, it could be sharing valence electrons with other atoms.
