The empty space could be filled with liquid or solid matter.
empty space
Yes. Gases are very compressible because there is a lot of empty space between the molecules. A liquid has almost no empty space between the molecules. When compressing a gas you are pushing the molecules closer together, getting rid of some of the empty space. Can't do that with liquids. Example 18grams of liquid ware will occupy 18 ml or 0.018 Liter of space (volume). Boil that same 18 grams of water and it will occupy about 24000 ml or 24 Liters of space because in the gas form the same number of molecules are farther apart with lots of empty space between them .
A volume empty of free molecules refers to a vacuum, where there are no gas molecules present. In a perfect vacuum, all matter has been removed, leaving behind a space that is devoid of any particles. Such environments are commonly used in scientific experiments and industrial processes.
This is a gas.
The volume of gas molecules is negligible compared to the total gas volume. Gas molecules themselves occupy a very small fraction of the total volume of the gas, with the majority of the volume being empty space between the molecules.
The space in between gas molecules is not "just empty space." It is filled with constantly moving and colliding molecules. Gas molecules are in constant motion, so even though there may be more space between them compared to liquids or solids, the space is not truly empty.
A vacuum is empty space with no air. It is a region where the pressure is significantly lower than atmospheric pressure, resulting in the absence of air or any other gas molecules.
Gases
we already know there is nothing in space, even here on earth! This is how it works: when you have a gas there is empty space in between the molecules, and you cant just fill that empty space with more molecules because that would meen that everything would have to be solid. so that empty space is nothing, gravity just holds it up. by the way if nothing did overcome space every thing would collapse in on its self, but besides that its improbable to explain.

Usually, in most substances the speed of light is slower than in empty space.

A gas consists of particles having a rather loose molecular structure; the easiest way of saying it is that there's a lot of "empty space" between the molecules. When a gas is compressed (by pressure, or being led into a smaller chamber) these empty spaces are eliminated as the particles get closer to each other.
