The electron - where electrons are located relative to the nucleus (called an electron configuration) helps to determine both physical and chemical properties.
Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus. If you change these you get a nuclear reaction, not a chemical reaction.

The electrons (most importantly valence electrons) give the atom its chemical properties.
The protons in the nucleus give the atom its identity, but they do not enter into chemical reactions because they are buried deep inside the atom.

i assume it may be nucleus. what determines chemical residences is the electron shell, thats how the factor combines with different components, yet it extremely is surprisingly plenty desperate by utilising the nucleus. in spite of the reality that your instructor could even choose which you will assert protons. Sorry I couldnt be of extra help, its no longer a nicely thought out question.

The proton. The number of protons dictates the number of electrons in the neutral atom. After that, the loss, gain, or sharing of electrons dictates number of plus charges of cations or minus charges of anions, based on protons in the nucleus. When atoms combine, what they do depends on interactions of the outermost electrons of each. But how many and what kinds of outermost electrons depends originally on the number of protons in the nucleus.

The electron plays the most important part in chemistry.

Its row, and column, what group its in alkali metals ect. valence levels, # valence electrons, electron affinity, positive or negative ion. Find a book on the explanation of the periodic table, it should explain how the table works more in depth and give explanations of the terms above.Also a man named Mandeleev who created the periodic table, check on how he thought of the patterns and rhythms of the table
