For most notebooks, the connectors are different, so the answer is no. In theory, the chips are sufficiently similar that, if they were mounted on the proper DIMM card, they would work properly.
Of course, the memory chips must be matched by speed (if a computer requires a particular speed rating, the memory chips must meet or exceed it), by access type (ie, a computer expecting DDR won't be able to use DDR2, etc), and by capacity. Some machines expect that the amount of memory per DIMM must be 256MB, not 128MB, etc. If the computer requires ECC memory (an arrangment of ordinary memory chips that permits a kind of error detection and correction -- should be universally used, in my view) than non-ECC DIMMs or SODIMMs won't work.
It's a complex (because there are so many dimensions which must be matched) business. fortunately, none of these dimensions are, individually, very hard to manage.

No because the notebook RAM chips are significantly smaller, and would not fit in a desktop motherboard.
