"Gases fill their container, showing that gas particles are not tied together and can move far apart."
Explanation: the macroscopic observation that a gas expands to uniformly occupy whatever container it's in implies its particles are free to move independently, are far apart on average, and have negligible cohesive forces — consistent with the kinetic molecular theory of gases.
