The amount of empty space in the Universe, between galaxies, is many times larger than the amount of space occupied by galaxies. This ratio depends on what part of the Universe you are looking at. For example, our galaxy has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years; the closest larger galaxy (M31) is at a distance of about 2.5 million light-years. However, that's just the Local Group; from the Local Group to another galaxy cluster, there is even more empty space.

Electrons with the smallest amount of energy would occupy the principal quantum energy level of?

Electrons with the smallest amount of energy would occupy the principal quantum energy level of n = 1. This is the lowest energy level, closest to the nucleus of an atom, where electrons are most stable and have the least energy. In this level, there can be a maximum of two electrons, which occupy the 1s orbital.
