Best Answer

The "space" between molecules.

-----------------------------------------

Gases in solids are present in open or closed pores. The percent of gas (and the volume of pores) depends on many factors.

to my understanding, even the most solid table is actually 99% air.....its only the molecules that are considered solid, but there are tons of 'space' between them, though impossible to 'see' with the eye. the space between them is in the molecule itself, electrons and protons and atoms dont actually touch each other even though they are considered bonded. they are only close to each other. if it was put in a way we could visualize, it would be a big parking lot with a truck in the center of it, and a few cars park in various spots. the truck being the nucleas of the atom and the cars being the electrons....all the open parking spaces is just considered air, or space. and when bigger molecules attach, its just like adding more parking lots to each other, but they still maintain their internal space....ok that made no sense at all, but i think its on the right track

No, a solid is a solid and a gas is a gas. They are two separate states of matter.
