A metal can have different numbers of protons, as the number of protons dictate which element it is (refer to a periodic table).

For example, Lithium (Li) is a metal, with 3 protons, whilst Gold (Au) is also a metal with 79 protons.

The number of protons the metal has depends on which metal(/element) it is.
