What two elements make up the majority of earths sand?
Without modifiers, the word "sand" refers to a substance that is almost entirely silicon dioxide.
Are there small amounts of silicon in sand?
It depends on what tipe of sand. Regular beach sand has almost everything in it.
How many grams of sand are needed to make 45 grams of silicon?
To make silicon from sand, you would need to extract the silicon dioxide (SiO2) from the sand. The atomic mass of silicon dioxide is 60 grams/mole. Since the molar ratio of silicon to silicon dioxide is 1:1, you would need 45 grams of sand to obtain 15 grams of silicon (45 grams x 1 mol Si/60 g SiO2).
Is sand a metalloid?
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.
What element makes sand but not diamonds when mixed with oxygen?
It is silicon and oxygen that make up sand. Most sand is silicon dioxide, or SiO2. Quartz is the most common of a family of minerals made up of silicon dioxide called silicates. It is one example of a form of silicon dioxide.

How many atoms make up one sand compound?
Sand is silicon dioxide, formula SiO2
Are there small amounts of silicon in sand?
It depends on what tipe of sand. Regular beach sand has almost everything in it.
Is silicon made out of sand?
Silicon is not made out of sand, but it is a naturally occurring element found in sand, quartz, and other minerals. Sand is primarily made up of silica, which is a compound of silicon and oxygen. Silicon is extracted from sand and then processed to create various products, such as computer chips.
What is glass make from?
silicon (aka sand)
How many grams of sand are needed to make 45 grams of silicon?

Since the molar ratio of silicon to silicon dioxide is 1:1, you would need 45 grams of sand to obtain 15 grams of silicon (45 grams x 1 mol Si/60 g SiO2).
What is made up of silicon?
Silicon is found in stone, sand, and soil as well!
What two things make sand?
Silicon and oxygen
Why are microchips made of sand?
Most sand is composed of quartz - silicon dioxide. The element silicon is used to make microchips.
Which two elements are chemically joined together in sand?
Silicon and oxygen are the two elements that you combine to make sand. =]
