How is a possible for a sound wave to transmit energy but not matter?

Sound wave's transmit energy and not matter because sound travels from particle to particle transferring only energy. That is why when sound travels only the energy travels and the particles just collide with each other but stay in their positions.

Can sound waves transmit energy through empty space?
no
Which states of matter transmit sound the best?
Solids, then liquids, and lastly gasses.
What state of matter is sound?
Sound is a form of energy, it is not a state of matter.
What state of matter transmits sound fastest?
Sound travels further and faster in the more dense states of matter. Solids transmit sound faster than liquids or gases.
Is air heat energy and sound a form of matter?
Air is a form of matter (composed of different gases, which are forms of matter). Heat, energy, and sound are all forms of energy, not matter.

What type of thing does not transmit sound?
Sound and vibration are transmitted by matter. So a vacuum will transmit neither.

Is BBC Sound Any good?
The BBC has always been keen to transmit the best possible quality sound.
Does outerspace have sound?
Outerspace has no sound. This is because outerspace is essentially devoid of matter, and matter is required for sound. Sound is a physical phenomenon of a travelling pressure wave, and in space there is essentially no gas or media to transmit a wave.
Can sound travel through waves?
I'm pretty sure they can travel through matter It depends on the matter, but many materials will transmit sound.
Why light sound and energy are not considered to be matter?
Sort of. Light and sound are forms of energy, which according to Einstein, is a form of matter ( E=mc2). For most purposes, though, energy isn't really matter. moreover , light and sound is energy not matter because it is the massless particle..!
Is light and sound matter?
no light and sound is energy not matter because it is the massless partical.
