There are atoms without neutrons, but protons and electrons are both universal to all atoms, right?

And if this is the case, we can define atoms safely as "a proton or group of protons with an electron or group of electrons orbiting around it, usually acompanied with a neutron in the nucleus" ????

H+ is just a proton - its more of a perspective thing. Chemists think in terms of elements and physicists think more in terms of fundamental particles.
