"An atom's inability to react with all elements in the same way" is the only factor from the given list which impacts the possible number of ways in which different atoms can be put together, since atoms of any given element may or may not react with atoms of another element, depending on various factors including elemental properties such as electronegativity, number of electrons in outer orbital, etc.
