Answer:

no

Protons are a type of subatomic particle with a positive charge. Protons are bound together in an atom's nucleus as a result of the strong nuclear force. Neutrons are a type of subatomic particle with no charge (they're neutral). ... As a result, a neutral atom must have an equal number of protons and electrons.
