Sound travels on Mercury because mercury is a fluid. Sound can travel through any medium, let it be solid or fluid (remember that both gases and liquids are considered fluids). Sound cannot travel through vacuumes as there is no medium (often air is the medium in those cases).

I very much doubt that sound would refuse to travel through anything that consists of atoms. Some materials will absorb a large percentage of the sound, though.
