I isn't an element itself, but the most common element in it is silicon dioxide, or SiO2.
Sand is a mixture, not a compound, as it is made up of different elements such as silicon, oxygen, and occasionally other minerals. These elements are not chemically bonded together in a specific ratio to form a new substance.

It depends upon the source of the sand. Mostly sand is Silicon and Oxygen, but it could contain iron and other metallic elements.
Silicon and oxygen are the two elements that you combine to make sand. =]
Both sand and quartz are made of the elements silicon and oxygen.

No. Sand is a mixture of different substances. The term metalloid applies to a particular class of elements. One metalloid, silicon, is one of the most abundant elements in sand to the point that silicon is often extracted from sand.
The main constituent of sand is Silicon Dioxide. This compound contains silicon and oxygen.
The purest possible sand contains only silicon and oxygen.
Sand essentially contains silicon dioxide (SiO2) and oxygen.
The preponderance of the elements in sand are silicon or oxygen, with twice as many oxygen atoms as silicon atoms. In naturally occurring sand, some impurities with additional elements as iron are usually present in small amounts.
