Protons determine what the element is.

Although the number of electrons and protons are the same(since the atom in electrically neutral), the number of electrons is more closely tied to the chemical properties than the number of protons, especially in reactions.

The subatomic particle that is most responsible for how an atom reacts with other atoms is?

Assuming that you mean the chemical properties, the electrons are what define each element. If you meant subatomic particles, then it doesn't matter; each subatomic particle has unique characteristics.


What are not subatomic particles?

Atoms, molecules, and cells are not subatomic particles. Atoms are made up of subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, electrons), molecules are made up of atoms, and cells are the basic unit of life in living organisms.
