Do atoms have the same number of protons as its neutrons? I know that atoms can have different number of electrons compared to protons, but does the number protons and neutrons stay equal?

Not necessarily. The atomic mass equals the number of protons+neutrons, but they don’t necessarily have to be the same. For example, for a carbon isotope of 14C, there would be 6 protons but 8 neutrons.
