Some elements have padding or margins by default, but most do not.
Here's a CSS Default Values Reference on w3schools.com that shows the values different elements have by default.

231,269 PointsThere's no default padding. The white space is the margin between the body and the html element. Elements that cover 100% of the body still don't reach the edges of the window because of that margin.
Note that there would be no visible difference between margin on the body element (the default) and padding applied to the html element (not normally done).
