No sand is the polymetric form of silcon dioxide (SiO2). There are also theories that for every milloin silicon atoms or so maybe more i'm not 100% of the exact ratio, the silicon atom is replaced with a Xenon atom, which explains the unusually low concentration of xenon in the atmosphere
Sand is NOT an element. Iron IS an element.
iron fillings and sand
Because iron is the useful material, not sand.
use a magnet to get the iron filings out. then add water to the salt and sand and use a funnel and filter paper to separate the sand from the now salty water catch the water from the funnel in a glass bowl . place the glass bowl on top of a gauze which is balanced on a tripod which under that is a bunsen burner on it's hottest flame. the water will evaporate and you will be left with the salt
Use a magnet. The magnet will remove the iron filings form the sand.
It depends upon the source of the sand. Mostly sand is Silicon and Oxygen, but it could contain iron and other metallic elements.
compoundIf the iron fillings are pure, they contain only one type of atom (all the atoms have the same number of protons). Thus, the filings would be a sample of the element iron. If the filings are rusty, then they would contain compounds (iron oxides).
Sand is NOT an element. Iron IS an element.
No, trees do not contain sand.
it will get on the iron if you try to separate sand will be on the iron

The source of this red sand is a mineral containg iron as oxides.
Because iron is the useful material, not sand.
A "sand Iron" is a golf club (iron) designed to hit a golf ball out of a sand trap or bunker.
What is special about iron filings? Anything with iron in it has this property... magnets are attracted to iron! Magnets do not attract sand. You can use a magnet to separate iron filings from sand.
Use a magnet to attract all the iron out of the sand
