Particles of sand are simply small rocks or pieces of minerals which can be from many different sources, and be of many different types.
Beach sand is definitely different from desert sand. Beach sand is made up of many different particles not found in desert sand.
Sand and water mixed is a mixture. Elements are substances with only one type of atoms. Compounds are substances made up of chemically bonded particles. Since sand and water are neither of these, it must be a mixture.
Clay is very made up of very small tightly fitting particles and is non-porous and does not absorb water, which is why it is used to make pottery and ceramics. Sand is larger particles and can absorb large quantities of water.
The term "sediment" is generally used for eroded particles, but much more frequently for particles when they are deposited by water and ice. The terms dust and sand are more frequently used for the specific airborne particles. Or possibly loess which is a light-coloured fine-grained accumulation of clay and silt particles that have been deposited by the wind
Sand is not soluble in water and sand particles are settled.
Sand particles are in fact a variety of sizes on the same beach front. This is because these sand particles are formed at different times through different processes.

An example of a suspension mixture would be sandy water. You can clearly see the different sand particles in the water when shaken.
It got its name from the yellow particles in its sand, originating from the Yellow River.
Because You Cannot See All The Particles In Water.. In Sand You Can See Them. Example: You CAN See A Grain Of Sand. SOURCES: Brain, School, Life,
Yes sand will absorb a small quantity of water. It is extremely small compared to the other soil particles (silt and clay). You can look for the Water Retention Curve for the specifics of the amounts of water that can be held by sand.
The water helps bond the sand
