Why is it that when 20cm3 of water is mixed with 20cm3 of sugar you do not get 40cm3?

Some of the sugar will dissolve in the water.
An easy way to imagine this is to imagine a huge box (I'll say 10m3 as an example) full of basketballs, and another huge box (again, 10m3) full of Table Tennis balls. If you mixed the two boxes in an even bigger box, the table tennis balls would fill in the spaces between the basketballs and you'd end up with less than 20m3 of balls.
