When moving your hand in the air, the molecules are more spread out, allowing you to easily push through the spaces. In solids, the molecules are closely packed, creating resistance when trying to move your hand through them. This resistance is what makes it harder to move your hand in solids than in the air.
Air is less dense than liquid or solid, so there is less resistance when moving our hand through it. In liquids and solids, the particles are closely packed together, creating more resistance to movement. Additionally, liquids and solids have stronger intermolecular forces that oppose the movement of objects through them.
Sound travels faster and more efficiently through solids compared to air because the molecules in solids are packed closely together, allowing sound waves to pass through more easily. This is why you can often hear noises through walls or floors more easily than in open air.
I am able to move easily through air because I am a gas with very low density, allowing me to move freely between the particles of the air. Additionally, I do not experience much resistance as I move through the gas due to my atomic size and structure.
Examples of materials that can flow include liquids (e.g. water, oil), gases (e.g. air), and some types of solids such as powders or slurries. These materials can change shape and conform to the container they are in, allowing them to move or be poured easily.
In solids, particles are closely packed together and have strong interactions, allowing vibrations to propagate quickly. In air, although molecules are farther apart, they can move fast due to their low mass and ability to transmit pressure waves easily. This results in solid and air being able to transmit vibrations and movement at relatively high speeds.

because there are more particles in water than air but there are more in solids than water so sound travles further in solids than liquids ore air
This is beacause air or Gas has fewer molecules that are clumped up together compared to liquid or solids. So they move freely and take up more of the shape of the compartment or container than the liquid or solid.
the air has a lot of intermolecular space between them so yuo can easily move your hand through it. But the block of wood has the particles tightly packed and hence you need a karate expert to break the block of solid wood.
Sound can't move in vaccum and need particles to move, it travels fastest in solids as it has highest amount of particles.
Sound travels 16 times faster in solids then in air.

That depends on what you mean by most easily. If you mean the speed of sound. Solids like steel Certainly beat air(steel around 6000m/s air 330m/s). If you mean how much damping occurs , that would be a completely different topic.
Gases can expand to fill any container they are placed in because their particles are not confined to a fixed position like in solids. Gases can also easily be compressed to decrease their volume, which is not possible for solids due to their fixed arrangement of particles. Additionally, gases have higher kinetic energy and move more freely than solids.
compared to air, water and solids. but between these two it is solids because the particles are really close together so they pass on the energy (sound) easily and more efficiently !
