They travel fastest through air.
in solid state of matter
Sound travels further and faster in the more dense states of matter. Solids transmit sound faster than liquids or gases.
Sound is a form of energy, it is not a state of matter.
It depends. Is it a mechanical wave or a electromagnetic wave? Mechanical waves (for example sound waves) travel trough every state of matter and they can't exist without matter. They don't travel through vacuum. Electromagnetic waves travel trough space and get interrupted only by other electromagnetic waves.

All the molecules are packed in tight and in an orderly fashion so the sound can travel faster through it. Gases have molecules away from each other so the sound cannot be passed through the vibrating and bouncing molecules so well.

Sound cannot travel in a vacuum at all.
Better name the state of matter - numbering may not be uniform. At any rate, with at least 15-20 different states of matter, it gets confusing if you try to number them.I would suppose that sound can travel through any matter, as long as it is not too tenuous.Better name the state of matter - numbering may not be uniform.

Molecules move faster the more energy they have ie the higher temperature they are. If you are talking about the 3 classical states, then the molecules will travel fastest as a gas
