It is faster in solids generally because the particles in a solid tend to be closer together than particles in a gas.

Two other factors the speed of sound can depend on is the density of the medium and how elastic the medium is

How is ti possible that, when adding protons while moving left to right across a period, the size of an atom shrinks? Why is the
Kaylis [27]

As one moves across a period, from left to right, both the number of protons and electrons of a neutral atom increase. The enhancing number of electrons and protons results in a greater attraction between the electrons and the nucleus. This uplifted attraction pulls the electrons nearer to the nucleus, therefore, reducing the size of the atom.  

On the other hand, while moving down a group, there is an increase in the number of energy levels. The enhanced number of energy levels increases the size of the atom in spite of the elevation in the number of protons. In the outermost energy levels, the protons get attracted towards the nucleus, however, the attraction is less due to an increase in the distance from the nucleus.
