Limestone grains are interlocking. The simple test to see if a rock's grains are interlocking is to put a drop of water on the surface. If the rock is interlocking, the water will remain on the surface. If it is not interlocking, the water will start to percolate through the rock. :).

This is the definition of the sedimentary rock shale.
The size of the grains that make up the rock
Igneous rock has interlocking grains with no specific pattern.

Sandstone is a sedimentary rock which is made up of sand grains which have been compressed to form a rock that has very weak bonds holding the grains together. The grains themselves can be igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic depending on which rock the grains were eroded from.
Not necessarily. There is a special class of sedmentary rocks, called sandstones, which are dominated by sand-sized grains. Other sedimentary rocks, such as shale, contain much finer grains.
Granite does not have rounded grains but contains interlocking grains. An example of a rock with rounded grains is a sandstone.

No. Granite does not have gaps between the grains. The crystals in an intrusive igneous rock are interlocking.
It is a sedimentary rock
That would be a sedimentary rock.
