Essentially yes - it is empty space. there may be some stray particles now and then but for the most part it is empty.

Having an empty space in it?
An empty space is called Vacuum.
What is the amount of space an object fills?
Volume
What is the difference between air and vacuum?
Vacuum refers to a volume of space that is essentially empty of matter,such that is gaseous pressure is much less than atmospheric pressure. while AIR is the mixture of oxygen, nitrogen,and other gases that are consistently present around us.
Is empty space a good insulator and why?
Yes,empty space is a good insulator because heat cannot move through empty space by conduction or convection.
Which do not travel through empty space?
sound cannot travel through empty space.
What fills the space between atoms and molecules?
Nothing (unless you count electromagnetic and gravitational fields).
Why can we state that most of the volume of matter such as the tabletop you are writing on is actually empty space?
Because the space between atomic particles, atoms and molecules is empty.
What fills most of the size of the solar system?
Empty space.
Why are liquid almost incompressible?
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 .
Define intercellular space?
Every particle has empty space or voids between each other called intermolecular or interparticle spaces......
Does heat move only where atoms and molecules are?
No. There is empty space between the sun and earth, but radiant heat gets through that empty region.
Why don't we have an empty space in our field of vision all the time?
Your brain fills it in.
Which type of mixture is formed when one substance dissolved into another fills the space between other kinds of molecules?
Homogeneous solution
Which type of mixture is formed when one substance dissolves into another fills the space between other kinds of molecules?
Homogeneous solution
What is the empty space where gas molecules are not located?
The empty space could be filled with liquid or solid matter.
What fills the space between the atomic nucleus and the electron cloud?
To say there is nothing there is simillar to saying water has no taste. There is something there, though we have yet to observe or define it.
What fills the space between Neutrons and electrons?
There is nothing that fills the space between neutrons and electrons. There may be a couple of other particles, but they do not come close to filling the space.
