Yes. Because that is the minimum requirement.
The Periodic table is a table with more than a hundred Elements on it. As of 2010, there are 118. Along with the names of the Elements there is the chemical symbol of the Element, the atomic number, and usually the atomic mass of the Element. The atomic number represents the number of Protons in one atom, and the atomic mass is the mass of the Protons and neutrons added together. The Electrons are not added onto the mass of the Protons and Neutrons because the Electrons are negligible.
The periodic table is added to in a way so that the element on the bottom row and furthest to the right is the newest discovered element. Making the most recent element added a nice fat go look it up.
After taking out my periodic table of elements, the closest i could find would be Californium, with 153 neutrons, Berkelium, with 152 neutrons, and finally Curium with 151 neutrons. This can be found by taking the atomic number of an element (which is the number of protons it has) and subtracting it from the elements atomic mass (which is the number of protons and neutrons added together). No element has a perfect 150 neutron number, but in its most stable isotope form Curium appears to be the closest.
At present, the element has been labeled as ununpentium, which refers to its position in the periodic table- 115th.
An atom is comprised of a nucleus of protons and neutrons, and layers of 'shells' in which the electrons revolve around the nucleus. An element is defined by the number of protons in the nucleus while the number of electrons on the outer shell define an atoms group on the periodic table. Then the number of neutrons is added to the number of protons to define the atomic weight of the atom.

Yes. The overall atomic weight of each atom on the periodic table is the sum of protons (Positively charged particles in the nucleus) and neutrons (no charge). The properties of each element is a byproduct of the number of protons. While electrons (the negative particles that "orbit" the nucleus) have mass, it is negligible when compared to the other two components.
Adding protons changes the element, creating a new element with a different atomic number. The element with 3 protons is not aluminum, so adding 3 protons would create a different element rather than a 3+ ion of aluminum.

The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of this element will determine its atomic number. Only this. If the atom is not charged (in other words, not an ion), this is the same as the number of electrons in the atom. In that case, the number of electrons will be the same as the number of protons. But it is the proton count that sets or determines atomic number.
The 14 protons means it has the atomic number 14, and from the periodic table you can see that it is silicon, Si. The 15 neutrons added to the 14 protons means it has a mass number of 29, and is an isotope of silicon called silicon-29.
As you already know the atom consists of protons, neutron and eletrons. The number of protons determins which chemical element it is, and on the periodic table of elements, we can see that the next element after lithium is beryllium.-An atom with 3 protons, 3 neutrons, and 3 electrons.- An atom with 3 protons, 5 neutrons, and 3 electrons

the number of protons and neutrons added together
The number of protons in an atom determines its identity as a specific element. Changing the number of protons would change the element. Neutrons and electrons can be added or removed without changing the identity of the element since they do not affect the element's chemical properties.
