sound will travel through air (gas), the slowest. Because the molecule sin the air are farther apart.

Actually rubber it will travel through rubber the slowest. Air is second slowest then water and then granite was all I learned . Also Saltwater is faster then water becaus e there more salt so air goes through it faster.

Sound would not travel at all in a perfect vacuum. the lesser numbers of molecules sound waves have to interact with, the slower sound will travel. this is why sound travels much slower in air than it does in water.

Well sound would travel the slowest - i.e not at all - in a vacuum. However, for simplistic terms, rubber is actually the slowest that sound will travel through of common objects. I don't know but something like sodium at 3K might be a lot slower.
