Gases
Yes
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 cannot travel through a vacum

Sound waves don't just travel the slowest in a vacuum, they don't travel at all. The reason is that sound waves, like all mechanical waves, need a medium to travel through.

Sound travels slowest through air because the particles in the air are spread apart.

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.
