This is a quantum physics question. Basic chemistry tells us that matter generally comes in the form of a particle and energy called a photon that comes in the form of a wave. Photons, however, are an extremely unique form of energy because they exhibit qualities of a particle AND a wave.

Darkness is a void of light particles reflecting (bouncing) off of surfaces directly into your pupil (thus rendering your eyes useless in the dark) - and is also relative to the animal depending on the rod/cone cells (light receptors) in their eyes (cats for example can see the whole house in the dark with just the oven clock light). Atomically it is when there are almost no photons bouncing off of surfaces. This is also how color works. The color that you see is actually absorbing every other color but the color that it reflects. Black and white, when it comes to light, are not colors. White is composed of every color, while black reflects no color.
