Everyone including books and people answering on this website get this wrong. It does matter and the rule is simple. If your horizontal access is something where it is not possible to rank in any special order- for example favourite crisp flavours or different ways of getting to work - then the bars are separate. I think spacing of a third or half the bar width looks neatest.
If you have a horizontal axis of some grouped data, like length of leaves, then you have a histogram and the bars touch. Strictly a histogram has a vertical axis of density to accommodate different width groupings. In many cases all the widths are identical and you have a simple frequency up the vertical axis.
There does not seem any unaminity of the correct name for this animal. On the one hand I'd use "histogram" so it's clear the bars touch but then some purists object because the vertical axis isn't density. On balance I'd still call it a histogram.

Do 4 bar graphs touch?
the bars normally do not touch each other.
What are several types of graphs?
Line graphs and Bar graphs
Is a column and bar graph the same?
Yes - in the usual orientation of bar graphs. However, bar graphs can be horizontal.
What Tree types of graphs to display data?
line graphs, bar graphs,and circle
Difference between line and bar graphs and pictographs?
bar graphs use bars and pictographs use pictures
Can bar graphs touch?
yes they can
Do 4 bar graphs touch?
the bars normally do not touch each other.
Can bar graphs touch each other?
No, if they are, it is called a histogram
What are bar graphs for?
bar graphs are for measuring points of data.
How are bar graphs and line graphs and circle graphs different?
circle graphs add up to 100% , bar and line graphs don't
Can bar graphs be transformed into bar graphs?
well...not sure if you know this but bar graphs already ARE bar graphs, the good news is you don't have to transform them... so half your work is already done XD!
What are several types of graphs?
Line graphs and Bar graphs
How are bar graphs and picture graphs alike?
Both bar graphs and picture graphs show statistics (data) in a visual (graphic) form.
What are the two main types of graphs?
Bar graphs and line graphs.
Is a column and bar graph the same?
Yes - in the usual orientation of bar graphs. However, bar graphs can be horizontal.
What are bar graphs similar to?
