Elelments are determined by the amount of protons they have. While different elements can have the same number of neutrons and protons, no two different elements can have the same amount of protons.
Isotopes have the same amount of protons but a different amount of neutrons.
Carbon Number of Protons/Electrons: 6 Number of Neutrons: 6
Uncombined atoms have the same number of neutrons as protons only if they are isotopes of the element, which means the atoms have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Otherwise, atoms with the same number of protons and neutrons would be considered as different elements.
No. Even atoms of the same element will vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus. For example, carbon (6 protons) has isotopes with 6, 7, and 8 neutrons. The most common isotope of hydrogen (1 proton) does not have any neutrons. While the most common isotopes of the lighter elements generally have the same number of protons and neutrons, heavier elements will have more neutrons than protons. For example the most common most stable isotope of uranium (92 protons) has 146 neutrons.

all elements have the same amount of protons and neutrons. when they are not balanced e.g. there is an extra electron, they are no longer atoms they are ions.
Carbon 12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. The amount of neutrons is exactly the same as the amount of protons.
No, the number of protons determines the element. Each element has a unique number of protons in its nucleus, which is what defines its identity. If two elements had the same number of protons, they would be the same element.
Isotopes have the same amount of protons but a different amount of neutrons.
Ideally, all elements should have the same number of protons, neutrons and electrons unless they become ionic. This is how elements such as the noble gases remain stable. They the same number of electrons, protons, and neutrons, and a full octet.
Carbon Number of Protons/Electrons: 6 Number of Neutrons: 6
it is neutral as the protons and the neutrons are the same amount.
Each chemical element has a different number of protons; the number of neutrons can be similar.
