Why is it impossible to slide solid objects through each other given that atoms are mostly empty space?

The electromagnetic field surrounding each atom repels all other atoms.

Is a chair made of atoms?
Yes, all objects are made of atoms of various elements.
What is is boiling point for ununpentium?
No one knows, a determination is impossible with only some unstable atoms.
What is the material that makes up an object?
objects are made of atoms, which make molecules. The basic unit of life is the cell
Are all objects made of atoms?
All objects you will encounter on Earth. Some objects, however, are made of more exotic forms of matter. Neutron stars, for example, are composed almost entirely of neutrons.
Do atoms move between your bodies and other objects?
Atoms from your body will not integrate or bond with other material, no.
Why is it impossible to go right through things?
Because of the electromagnetic force. The repulsion between the electrons of the atoms of the two objects will not allow them to pass through each other.
Why can't humans walk through objects if the atoms in your bodies are mostly empty space?
Because the outsides of all atoms are negatively charged so they repel when they come close.
Transfer of thermal energy through atoms contacting other atoms?
Not likely. Atoms are mostly empty space.
Why cant the kinetic energy of all the atoms in an object be measured?
because they are so small and objects contain so many of them, it is impossible to measure the kinetic energy of all the individual atoms
Light energy passing through matter unaffected?
Light cannot pass though matter but matter is technically atoms, which are mostly space with a few, moving objects - electrons and the nucleus. For glass, the loss of light through the material occurs for all glass.
Why can't I walk through solid objects?
There simply isn't enough space for your atoms to pass through the atoms of a solid object. You can swim in water and walk through a gas because the particles are so spread apart, but you cant walk through solid objects because the particle configuration is extremely dense.
Can all objects contain heat?
Heat is the vibration of the atoms or molecules that make up things. As all atoms can vibrate and all objects are made of atoms, all objects contain heat energy.
Can atoms be seen or felt?
No its impossible :]
How many atoms are in a orange?
The answer is practically impossible - an enormous number of atoms.
Is a chair made of atoms?
Yes, all objects are made of atoms of various elements.
What vibrates in objects?
Atoms or molecules when they are heated.
What is is boiling point for ununpentium?
No one knows, a determination is impossible with only some unstable atoms.
