Answer

one hundred (c)

Explanation

1. Recall basic kinetic theory At room temperature and pressure, gas molecules occupy a very small fraction of total volume; mean distance is much greater than diameter. 2. Estimate ratio The distance between particles is typically about 10 times their diameter for liquids, but for gases it's much larger — kinetic theory and typical molar volume indicate ~100×.
