So, if an atom has equal numbers of electrons and protons, the charges cancel each other out and the atom has a neutral charge. You could add a thousand neutrons into the mix and the charge would not change. However, if you add a thousand neutrons, you will be creating one super-radioactive atom. Neutrons play a major role in the mass and radioactive properties of atoms. You may have read the page on

Yes we can change the number of proton by exposing it to special type of radiation and also by smashing it into smallers parts by high energy particle . This process is used to in gold mines
but gold mines is not the appropriate example
this scattering example should be used in the lead to gold conversion
no problem
