Sand itself is homogeneous (each grain is homogeneous), however sand in general (lots of grains of sand, as in a handful of sand) is heterogeneous because it both has other things than sand mixed in and also it is not a pure solid (it is not a large rock of sand).
See the Related Questions to the left for more information about heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures.
Sand itself is a homogeneous but it's not a mixture. It's a compound. If your talking about a bucket of sand it isn't uniformed throughout it would be a heterogeneous mixture because it's uniform of each piece of "sand" varies. It would be a homogeneous mixture if all the sand in the bucket where the uniformed throughout. For example if all the specs of sand in the bucket are SIO2 silicon dioxide it is a homogeneous mixture.
Chemistry the central science 11 editions and their book still confuses people. You think they could explain what they are talking about a little bit better. It's only a 400 dollar book.

Sand and pebbles
Is wet sand heterogenous or homogenous?
Wet sand is considered heterogeneous because it contains a mixture of different-sized particles that are not uniformly distributed.
What kind of mixture is soil homogeneous or heterogenous?
Soil is a heterogeneous mixture because it is made up of various particles and components such as sand, clay, organic matter, water, and air. These components are not uniformly distributed throughout the soil, resulting in a non-uniform mixture.
Suppose all the grains in a sample of sand were exactly the same size Could the sample still be a heterogenous mixture?
No because the pieces of sand were the same so that would be a homogenous mixture. Heterogenous mixtures are noticeabley different from one another. Thank you very much :)
Is sand a compound homogenous mixture heterogenous mixture?
Sand is a mixture (but it is important to mention that some times sands formed from silicon dioxide, calcium carbonate, lava, shells may be not considered as mixtures); sands may be homogeneous but also heterogeneous.
What kind of mixture is the sand and gravel?
Mixture
Is soil a heterogeneous mixture or a homogeneous mixture?
Soil is considered a heterogeneous mixture because it consists of different components like sand, silt, clay, organic matter, and minerals that are not evenly distributed throughout.
Is sodium Chloride heterogenous or heterogenous?
Sodium chloride is a compound not a mixture.
Is salt and sand a heterogenous?
Yes. A heterogeneous mixture is one that lacks uniformity. When salt water (a homogeneous mixture) and sand are placed in the same container, the sand sinks to the bottom and the salt solution remains, largely, above the sand, demonstrating the characteristic lack of uniformity. See related link, below.

Is salt a heterogenous mixture?
no, but it is a homogeneous mixture ************************ No, it is a compound.
