As the moons gravity is comparatively weak the escape velocity from the moon is much lower. The speed of the gasses would exceed this velocity and therefore escape to space. There are of course other factors that effect these matters.

Why sound wave cannot move from the earth to the moon?

Sound is made when the air vibrates. When someone speaks for example, the air vibrates, and then your ears pick this vibration up as sound. Because their is no air between the Earth and the Moon, sound can not travel, because no air is there to vibrate. Also, sound levels decrease as they go farther away from whoever sent them. Since the Moon is about 238,855 miles from Earth, sound gets so decreased you can't hear it.
