When atoms are made up of almost nothing and the cores cannot touch, how is it that stuff can be stacked on top of other stuff and touch?

My son asked me this today, and while I thought that I had a sorta kinda basic idea (the cores don’t need to touch as it’s enough if the the electron cloud-thingies interact), I could not explain it so he could understand and neither was I sure enough of this being the correct answer. Can anyone help?

Most everything is empty space but there’s that many molecules (building blocks) in even the simplest of matter (things) that we see it as whole…. You can show a zoomed in picture of a crowed and scroll way out to illustrate this. When zoomed in the people are clearly not touching, or at least not every part of each other, but when zoomed at out… well you get it

As ELIF as I can get
