Sand
Sand is a lot of tiny rocks and clay is very compact soil.
Their both the same, really, just two different names for sand with clay in it, however one might have more clay in one (sandy clay) than the other (clayey sand), but only by miniscule amounts.

Mixing clay and sand in a test tube will result in a heterogeneous mixture, as the clay particles will not dissolve in the sand. The two components can be physically separated by techniques such as filtration or sedimentation.
Yes, the percolation rate would generally be greater in loamy sand compared to silt clay. This is because loamy sand has larger particles with higher porosity and permeability, allowing water to move more freely through the soil compared to the fine particles in silt clay which can lead to slower percolation rates.

No. But in gardening uses there is a difference. Perlite provides better drainage than Vermiculite,and Vermiculite holds water better. I personally prefer rough sand.
I would think clay because it has more density water would go right through sand :)
Because soil has nutrients that clay and sand don't have

mud+sand=clay
Gravel is typically heavier than sand, and therefore gravel would be heavier than both clay and sand. This is because gravel consists of larger-sized particles and has a higher density compared to clay and sand.
Clay is soft and sand is like sand water
Sand. The sand has space between all of the little grains, clay is stuck together with less space.
Clay because it's lighter.
Yes if the sand is on the clay it can roll even if the sand was not on the clay.The clay can still roll.
