Brief Explanations
Sound travels fastest in solids because the particles in solids are closely packed, allowing sound waves (which are mechanical waves requiring a medium) to transfer energy more quickly through particle vibrations compared to liquids (particles less closely packed) and gases (particles far apart and moving randomly).
