The amount of protons and neutrons dictates the physical properties of matter.
The heavier the atom, the denser the nucleus, the more complex is the electron "virtual" orbits.
This affects the electronegativity of the atom. This value also dictates how aggressively it can react or not react with other elements.

This is/was the classic model. Anything more granular and you need to go subatomic. (beyond my pay grade)
