No. All atoms of a given element are alike in the number of protons, which is the atomic number of an element. However, the number of neutrons in the nucleus can vary. Atoms of elements with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. All atoms of a given element in their ground state have the same number of electrons as they do protons, but if they form ions, the number of electrons will increase or decrease, depending on the element, but the number of protons remains the same.
