There are many differences between the right and left side of the heart. However, the major difference between these sides of the heart is that blood is taken into the left side of the heart while the right side pushes the blood through the body.

In the mammalian four-chambered heart, the right atrium of the heart collects de-oxygenated blood from the body, pumps it into the right ventricle, which then pumps the blood into the lungs. The lungs oxygenate the blood, which gets pumped into the left atrium, which pumps the blood into the left ventricle. From the left ventricle, the oxygenated blood then gets dispersed throughout the body.

I believe you mean the bicuspid or mitral (left) and tricuspid (right) valves? The difference is the number of 'cusps', two and three respectively, that close to keep the blood where it should be.
