I wondered if it was dark matter too.

If you think of the solar system as an atom, with the planets as electrons and the sun as the nucleus, it might be a bit easier to imagine. The space between the molecules of a particular substance is occupied by quarks, nutrinos, and other sub-atomic particles, and, yes a high percentage of empty space. This property of gases enables them to be compressed quite a bit, while solids, which are much more dense, can't be compressed much at all.

Dark matter.....? According to the latest issue of Scientific American, there is more of dark matter than the regular stuff we know and love...Who knew?!?!
I'm not sure if it is found between the spaces in an atom or not, but supposedly, outer space is filled with it.
I hope someone who knows for certain gives you a really great answer, because I want to know now, too!!!

It's not dark matter. We would be able to detect the mass difference if it were dark matter. It's simply space. Space is not empty however, the poster that mentioned "quantum foam" is most likely correct give our current understanding.

The total volume of a nucleus and its electrons make up less than .1% of the entire volume of the atom.
What is in the "empty space" is theorized to be a matter/anti-matter quantum mechanical "foam" of sorts. What this means is that, at very very small scales, particles/anti-particles are constantly forming/annihilating one another.

the association of ice is depending on the hydrogen bounds between Oxygen and hydrogen of distinct molecules. Energetically that disposition is the most reachable to provide to those bonds the better favorable buiding

Try to think of all matter as "little bits of not a lot in a great big bugger all" That's not too far from the truth

99% of anything, including a wall, is empty space. If you are small enough, you can go through almost anything.

unknown matter and energy. Things that keep known matter separated must exist but they are as yet unobservable.

Space, and lots and lots of FAITH. If those stupid spaces ever contract or expand by more than a trillionth of a centimetre, the world will come to an end.

Strings.
Don't forget that the MODEL of molecular structure is just for our mental picture and absorption of the concept.
It doesn't really look exactly like that.
