The largest determinant to an atom's behavior is its electron configuration. An atom's electron configuration determines its interactions with other atoms, such as which atoms it can form bonds with and whether that bond is covalent or ionic. Additionally, the number of neutrons and protons influence the stability of the atom's nucleus.

What about an atom of an element determines behavior?
69
The chemistry of an atom depends on the behavior of what?
The unique chemical properties of each element depend on the atomic number. The protein composition of a cell determines its shape, behavior, and function of the cell.
Why does chemistry involve the study of the changes in the world at a submicroscopic level?
Atoms and molecules are submicroscopic and it is their behavior that determines the macro behavior of chemicals in bulk.
What number in an atom determines what kind of atom it is?
The atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus, determines what kind of atom it is.
What determines how an atom behaves when it encounters another atom?
The electron configuration of an atom determines how it behaves when it comes into contact with another atom.
What are subatomic particles that determine an atoms behavior or bonding ability?
Electrons. The number of valence or "free" electrons an atom has determines how it can bond with other atoms.
What part of an atom determines the isotope of an atom?
Neutron
What determines an atoms number?
the number of protons determines the atom.
What determines how many convalent bonds atom will form?
The number of electrons in an atom's valence shell determines its valency.
How an atom behaves determines?
An atom behaves on how many penises it has
What determines how atoms react with other atoms?
The chemical behavior of an atom is determined by its electron configuration - that is, the distribution of electrons in the atom's shells.
determines the shape of an atom?
angles
