Hollow... Empty (Free Space - Air).
Opposite to Free Space Is filled Space = SOLID.

No, we can't go for filled. The reason is we use HOLLOW for determining the structure of a thing like hollow bar, but empty is a word which is generally used when we talk about a quantity or a number, for example, the box is filled with chocolates/the chocolate box was empty.

I think your doubt is clear.

The opposite of empty is Filled.

Can't we go for filled rather than Solid.
