Like in this picture[pic](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSCCadOhv2cxPQIYF5Uo6IOICOSAAIfFWboMg&usqp=CAU),
what is the thing at the top? Is it just space?
In: Physics
Not sure what that picture is supposed to be, but what do you mean by between atoms? If there is nothing there taking up space, it will have to be a vacuum, as far as I know.
The atom itself is said to consist mostly of empty space, which is basically just a way to explain that most of it´s mass is concentrated in the nucleus. Then there is this buzzing “cloud” of electrons around it. The distance between the nucleus and the outer electrons is absurdly large, relative to the size of the nucleus.
