Silicon and oxygen are the two elements that you combine to make sand. =]
Silicon and oxygen are the two elements that combine to make sand.
While sand is typically a product of erosion, the resultant elements depend upon the location. In general, most sand is silicon and oxygen.
Oxygen and Silicon. Sand varies in composition by locality, but a common constituent tends to be silica [SiO2].
Sand is a description of the size of a particle, not its composition. However, beach sand is comprised of primarily silicon and oxygen, the same elements in glass.

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture when two or more substances are mixed together but aren't chemically combined/joined
Common salt, sodium chloride, is a compound of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) A mixture is just two things existing together but not combining chemically, for example, salt and sand mixed together. They can be separated without being chemically changed. An element is a single atom not combined with anything else. For example, sodium and chlorine are both elements. Combined chemically, the form a compound.
In a compound the component elements are chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio. In a homogeneous mixture the components are not chemically bonded together and the ratio can vary.In a compound the component elements are chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio.In a homogeneous mixture the components are not chemically bonded together and the ratio can be varied.
A compound word is a word made up of two or more words joined together which has a meaning of its own.The compound noun in the group is raisin bread.
Here's a quick tip on chemically cleaning or killing the algae living in the sand in a sand filter. The next time you shock your swimming pool, poor the shock or bleach in the skimmer. This will provide a very high level of chlorine in the filter for a very short period of time. Long enough to kill the stubborn algae living in the filter but not long enough to hurt your plumbing.

Elements consist of only one kind of atom (i.e. carbon or Phosphorus). Compounds are made of two or more different elements that are chemically bound together (i.e. carbon + oxygen = carbon dioxide, a compound). Mixtures are similar to compounds, but they are not chemically bound together and can be physically separated or filtered (i.e. sand and water).
By definition a solute can not be insoluble. Ergo, there are no mixtures containing an insoluble solute.
Sand and vinegar is a mixture. The two do not chemically bond, they are merely stirred together.

Yes. It is not chemically bonded.
sand is a mixture because its all mixeed up with stuff!

Sand is composed of small loose particles of eroded rock of any type, but commonly it is particles of quartz from igneous or metamorphic rock. Each sand grain is actually a rock unto itself. Only when the sand grains are cemented together through a process known as lithification, do the sand grains become part of a new sedimentary rock.
Sand (silica grains) is chemically neutral.
Sand is not a pure substance - it can be a mixture of almost countless compounds. Sand and water is a mixture although, chemically speaking, the term mixture tends to be reserved for mixtures of components that are the same phase.
A substance can be an element, a compound or a mixture. Sodium is a substance and also an element. It is a substance but consisting of only one type of atom. Sodium Chloride is a substance and also a compound. It is a substance but consists of two elements chemically combined and is thus also a compound. Sodium chloride and sand mixed together is a substance and also a mixture.
