Question

What type of particles are essentially independent of each other?

Answer 1

`"Gaseous particles..............."`

Explanation:

And compare the densities of gases to those of liquids and solids. Gases are inherently less dense materials, and occupy much greater volumes.

And a simple calculation you can do is compare the volume of `1*mL (-=1*g)` of liquid water, and that mass of water as a gas at `100` `""^@C` and `1*atm`. You should try this out using `V=(nRT)/P`.
