Why does sound travel fastest through a solid a liquid or a gas?

Sound (and vibration) waves travel through air at about 330 m/sec. It travels through water at about three times that, and through a solid at about five times that for air.
Numbers vary widely. Beryllium may have the highest velocity at about 12 000 m/s.
The stiffer the material, the easier it is for the energy to pass from one molecule to the next. Hence the faster conduction in solids rather than gases.
