No. An element is a type of atom; distinguished by the number of protons; an isotope might be considered a "sub-type", distinguished by the number of neutrons. In other words, different isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons, but the number of neutrons varies. This is completely unrelated to the electric charge.

A positively charged particle has great difficulty penetrating a target nucleus because the target nucleus has what?

A positively charged particle has great difficulty penetrating a target nucleus because of the strong repulsive electrostatic force between the positively charged particle and the positively charged protons in the nucleus. This repulsion acts as a barrier that prevents the particle from approaching the nucleus closely.
