Waves travel quickly in a because the molecules are closely packed and physically bonded together?

Rephrase the question.
'Wave particles' that is, water, or H20, are Dipolar.
The Hydrogen atoms incur a negative charge and the oxygen a positive one, hence water molecules will stick to eachover, (such as a magnet does)
As for waves travelling fast through something... i'd guess water?
Waves are formed by changes in the sea level, which is why they greatly increase in size just before hitting the beach. Waves are caused by lunar activity.

What is the difference between a solid and a liquid since in both states the molecules are packed closely together?
A solid's molecules are packed more closely together than a liquid's and are usually locked into a grid to form a crystalline or lattice structure.
What is the definition for Packing of Particles?
How close together the molecules (particles) are in a substance/material. Solids are closely packed, liquids are loosely packed, and gas are very loose, freely moving molecules.
Why gases are easily compressible where as liquids and solids are not?
Because the particles in a gas are free-moving, and spread widely apart. When they are compressed, there is extravspace that they can fit into. Liquids+solids have particles that are clos together :)
How is a solid a solid?
a solid is a solid because the molecules that are in the object are closely compact with each other. they do not move but the do vibrate.
Is a solid hard to compress?
Yes they are, because the atoms are packed closely together
In which form of substance do the molecules have the strongest attractions to one another?
solid because the molecules are packed closely together

Is the boiling point of hydrogen higher or lower than fluorine?
yes,because in hydrogen molecules are closely bounded whereas in fluorine molecules are not closely bounded
What are solids are of?
Solid has definite volume and shape It's atoms and molecules are packed closely together that is all i got . :)
Why steam has a lower specific heat then water?
I would say that is because the molecules are already separated - are no longer closely linked - and therefore need less energy for an additional separation.I would say that is because the molecules are already separated - are no longer closely linked - and therefore need less energy for an additional separation.I would say that is because the molecules are already separated - are no longer closely linked - and therefore need less energy for an additional separation.I would say that is because the molecules are already separated - are no longer closely linked - and therefore need less energy for an additional separation.
Similarities of liquid and gas?
They are both fundamental phases of matter. They can vary in form, and do not have their atoms or molecules packed closely together.
Why do solids have definite shape?
Solid have definite shape because the particles of solid are closely packed together and they cannot move freely. Therefore the force of attraction of particles in solid is more.
Charles Darwin closely studied a group of land turtles that had become physically different because of?
environmental pressures

What makes bubbles stick to something?
Water is made up of lots of tiny molecules. The molecules are attracted to each other and stick together. The molecules on the very top of the water stick together very closely to make a force called surface tensionI hope that helps :D

What medium does sound travel through faster?
sound (or any wave for that matter) travels fastest through a solid because the molecules are more closely packed together than in a liquid or gas. waves propagate by creating disturbances in molecules. since molecules in a solid are closer, one molecule will disturb an adjacent one sooner.
