Hey mate ✌✌ Here's the answer
The propagation of sounds needs a medium for its propagation.
The sounds travel in the form of longitudinal waves by making rarefaction and compression in between the atoms or the particles in the environment...
The intermolecular space in liquid is very low as compared to solid and is further low intermolecular space in liquid....
For the same reason of different in the intermolecular space the speed of sound is different......
in case of solid the vibration > liquid > gases...
hope it helps you...✌✌✔✔♥♥

Sound is basically produced when particles vibrate. But when it comes to gases, it's molecules have large intermolecular spaces with negligible amount of forces between them which results in very less collisions or any vibrations amongst them that makes the sound travel very slow.
Hope you got it ☺
