Atoms aren’t empty. Electrons, the thing everyone thinks is a speck bouncing around, is a wave function, a field. The quantum level operates in fields and the fields are what are interacting. Electrons only provide us insight into chemical reactions, but for physical interaction its the same reason you cant stick opposite magnets together and it feels like something is there.
