I know this is a crazy question but bear with me as I explain. The obvious answer would be air but I dont mean it at that level. Lets say you had a crazy microscope that can zoom in to a molecular level. Lets say you are just zooming in on air and you see a bunch O2 molecules packed together. There is bound to be gaps between molecules no matter how close they are packed together. What is that space called?

Sorry if the answer is obvious and Im just dumb

Space. The space between objects is called space.

As far as I'm aware, it's just called intermolecular space

You need to consider everything as waves rather than Lego bricks. When you realise everything is waves you realise there is no space between anything. Just differing levels of waves.

I can see the baseline logic behind that and it sounds interesting. I dont know if that is factual or not but I can see it being true.

Its just quantum mechanics when you get to this level.

This reddit thread from 2015 has some scientists that answer the question.

It's a "question poorly phrased" kind of situation.

tl;dr: there is no "empty space between molecules" there are electrons everywhere.
