Gas: particles are well separated with no regular arrangement, they vibrate and move freely at high speeds, they assume the shape and volume of their container, they can be compressed, they can move freely past one another.
Liquids: particles are close together with no regular arrangement, they vibrate, move about, and slide past each other, assume the shape of the container they occupy, they are not easily compressed, they flow easily.
Solids: particles are tightly packed usually in a regular pattern, they vibrate but do not move from place to place, retain a fixed volume and shape, they are not easily compressible, and they do not flow easily.

Why does the sound travel faster in solids than liquid and gases?
because molecules of solids are closer than the molecules of liquids or gases and hence compressions and rarefactions of sound waves are transferred more quickly in solids.
