"atmospheric gases and suspended particles do not have ... free will"
I believe that gasses and suspended particles do have free will in the same way a brain running on the laws of physics has free will. You're asserting non-free will by appealing to intuitions around a simple example, but it is not justified.
Free will is at a different abstraction level to its implementation. Electrons cannot do arithmetic, but calculators can, with electrons as the implementation.
