Empty space. Depending on the circumstances there might be things like photons, if you can call photons things. Even empty space is never truly empty - there is something called zero-point energy and elementary particles are constantly popping into and out of existence.

∙ 15y agothere is no substance. place each molecule or particulate in an atomic state and all there is :>>>>>>>> isotopes<<<<<<<<< , polarity and magnatism are the greatist features of the molecule , particulates are just that.

Another opinion:
The previous answer is completely wrong. Air is made up of molecules of various kinds of gas. There is no "air" between the molecules in a knife, for example, or a rubber band, or your bone. The molecules in these materials is mostly empty space, filled with nothing at all. The same thing goes for the atoms that make up the molecules. If you could scale up a hydrogen atom until the proton in its nucleus was the size of a grain of sand, the electron in its orbit around the nucleus would be over half a mile, or a kilometer, away. Between the proton and the electron is nothing except an electrostatic force field. Between molecules in that knife is nothing except force fields. Most of everything is empty space.
A better analogy than the sponge would be a jar filled with marbles. Now scale up the marbles until they are each the size of a city. Now put a small paper clip in the centre of each city-sized marble. Now get rid of the marble. Don't fill the spaces with air or anything else. The paper clips now represent molecules in a solid, separated from one another by nothing at all, just empty space, in which some inter-molecular forces pull the molecules together, and their random relative velocities act to keep the molecules apart, so that at just this distance (and at this temperature) the present distance between them is in equilibrium.
What is the space between molecules? The space-time continuum.

∙ 14y agothere is empty space between the molecules of air because if there will be no space between the molecules of air then it will be impossible for air to move.

Are molecules in the air part of the hydrosphere?
The water molecules are.
What way do cold air molecules move?
In cold air, molecules move slower then they would move in warm air. One part of the KPM (kinetic particle model) states that temperature directly effects the movement of the particles, therefore causing the molecules of the warm air to move faster (because of more frequent collisions between the molecules).
Why do large crystals of sugar burn slowly?
there is no air between molecules :))) in other words - the surface of burning is less :)
What is the relationship between temperature air molecules and water vapor?
Whatever it is, gas, vapor, liquid, solid - the higher the temperature, the higher is the local agitation/speed of the molecules/atoms.
Why does an increase in the number of molecules increase the pressure?
The great the density the higher the air pessure.
How does the air pressure affect the distance between the air molecules?
because of high
What is the difference between water moulecules air vs cold air?
The water molecules in cold air are moving more slowly than those in warm air. Additionally, because the other air molecules are packed more closely together, less water molecules can fit between them. Consequently, the absolute humidity of cold air when saturated with water molecules is lower than that of warm air.
Which type of air would you expect to have more space between air molecules?
Warmer Air does this.
Does a cold front cause heavy precipitation?
When air gets colder, the molecules move closer together. The space between the molecules of air is where water particles stay when they are in clouds or in the air you breathe. So, when the space between molecules shrinks because of colder weather, the water molecules are "squeezed out" of the air and form into precipitation that then falls to the ground.
How does the distance between the particles in atmospheric air compare to the size of the particles themselves?
Usually in a gas, the distance between molecules is larger.
Why does air compress and water doesn't?
Air has larger spaces between the molecules as compared to those in water molecules so air compresses to a greater extent than water.
Why the air is physically combined?
the defined amount of force between their molecules
When there is more space between molecules would air be more or less dense?
Air will be less denser.
How does permittivity of air change with altitude?
decreases with increasing altitude. as altitude increases so does the distance between the air molecules. increasing distance between air molecules leads to increased resistance to flow.
Why does hot air hold more water vapour than cold air?
Because the molecules in the hot air are more spread out, allowing water to easily form within the gaps of the molecules. Cold air is more dense and does not allow water to form easily between the molecules.
What is the mixture of air?
Air molecules and water molecules!
How molecules in the air cause air resistance?
How molecules in the air cause air resistance?
