Is sand a liquid or solid?
Sand is a solid, not a liquid.
Is sand a liquid?
No, sand is not a liquid. Sand is a solid material made up of small grains of rock and mineral particles.
Is sand a solid and why?
Yes, because sand is just a bunch of particles mixed together. A liquid, gas, or solid will appear to be so down to a molecular level. If you look at water through a microscope, it will look like water until you can distinguish individual molecules. Even then, we will know we are looking at a single water molecule, which has predictable properties regarding change of state. It is still a liquid under normal temps. Sand will look solid, no matter how close you look at it, down to a molecular level. A beach is just a bunch of solid particles piles together. Sand can also be melted and turned into liquid, like making glass. This requires heat and pressure. In our normal atmosphere, quartz is in its solid form. Thus the REAL answer is that all matter in the universe can be wither solid, liquid, gas, or plasma.
In a solid liquid mixture of this substance will the solid float or sink?
Whether the solid will float or sink in a solid-liquid mixture depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the density of the solid is greater than that of the liquid, then the solid will sink. If the density of the solid is less than that of the liquid, then the solid will float.
What state of matter is characterized by having a definite shape and a definite volume?
The state of matter is actually to states of matter. Solid and liquid are the states of matter that have a volume,(liquid) and shape(solid).

Is liquidized sand a solid or a liquid?
Liquidized sand would still be considered a solid because the individual sand particles retain their solid characteristics, despite being in a liquid-like state. The sand particles are just dispersed in a liquid medium, giving the appearance of a liquid.
Is sand a solid or a gas or liquid?
sand is solid if you look in the microscope it's solid
Is sand a solid a liquid or gas?
Sand is a solid, made up of tiny particles of rocks and minerals. It does not flow like a liquid or disperse like a gas.
Example of heterogeneous solid in liquid?
Sand in water is an example of a heterogeneous solid in a liquid. The sand particles do not dissolve in water and can be seen as separate entities within the liquid.
Is sand a liquid?
No, sand is not a liquid. Sand is a solid material made up of small grains of rock and mineral particles.
Is sand liquid gas or solid?
That depends on the temperature. At normal Earth surface temperatures, sand is a solid. Heat it up and it becomes a liquid, heat if further and it will vaporize.
