Sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to
transfer when the molecules are close together.
Sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has
to move around the gas molecules that are far apart.
Sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of
solids is always greater, so the heat transfers the sound
energy
Sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is
so great the sound cannot travel though the steam
particles
