Learning about the interactions between atoms has allowed for us to account for the existence of different forms of matter (solids, liquids, and gases) and well as explain their properties.  We can also explain why things appear to be stable even when all atoms are constantly moving.  On a slightly larger scale, different configurations of the same elements result in different molecules with different properties, because of the importance of three dimensional physical shape.
