rbysliprs4:
I was wondering what is between the sub-microscopic particles in a sample of matter? I understand about what they are i just dont know what is between them...? If someone could help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Mitch:
What kind of particles are you talking about?

pizza1512:
I think he means shells/ orbits...


 :P

jdurg:
In between the subatomic particles is empty space.  So between the electrons and the nucleus is well, nothing.  It's an absence of matter.

Not completely true. The electrons and the protons on the nucleus do have an electromagnetic interaction. This interaction is due to exchanging photons and this is what you can find in between this dead space.
