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 oxygen atoms are in iron?
There are no iron atoms in oxygen. Oxygen is an element in itself so it can not be complicated by another element unless it becomes a molecule of something else. Usually iron that has been mixed with oxygen can be form an iron oxide.
What element is produced when sodium is mixed with water?
It is still sodium. Adding water just makes it a sodium solution, but does not form a new compound
Is oxygen and gas a mixture?
No. It is an element.Oxygen is a pure gas that is mixed with other gases to produce the atmosphere to support human life. Deep sea divers use a mixture of oxygen and other gases to enable them to dive deep - it is a very important science. Our blood captures the oxygen we breathe in and binds it safely to the transport molecule called haemoglobin.
What element is almost always mixed with silver?
platinum
How is nascent oxygen produced?
potassium permanganate mixed with water produces nascent oxygen.
What element mixed with oxygen makes mars red?
The reason that makes mars read is not due to a element but to different elements chained together or otherwise known as a molecule the molecule what makes Mars red is iron oxide or in layman's terms rust. The chemical formula for iron oxide is is Fe2O3.
How does the element copper behave when mixed with oxide?
Oxide is not an element . Copper plus oxygen eaquals copper oxide .Pure copper exposed to oxygen turns greenish .
Is oxygen an element or mixture or a compound?
Oxygen is an element. In the air it is mixed with Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, etc.
What is alcohol a compound or element?
its an element because its mixed of chemicals, carbon and oxygen.
Mars is often described as the Red Planet because of what element mixed with oxygen on its surface?
The red colour is caused by iron compounds in the soil. Iron is bonded to oxygen, not mixed with it.
How many oxygen atoms are in iron?
There are no iron atoms in oxygen. Oxygen is an element in itself so it can not be complicated by another element unless it becomes a molecule of something else. Usually iron that has been mixed with oxygen can be form an iron oxide.
What makes acid rain?
Acid rain is caused by pollution mixed with oxygen and sunlight.
Can technetium be mixed with any other element?
Technetium react with oxygen, halogens, oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, boron, carbon etc. and can form alloys with metals.
Are diamonds found pure or in an ore?
The diamonds themselves are, well, diamonds. They're found mixed in with other rock, though.
What is carbon like?
Carbon is used for pencil lead, drinks, charcoal, fuel, and aircraft production. It looks like either diamonds, steel, lead or bubbles when mixed with oxygen.
How important is mercury to society?
Mercury is important to the society because it is involved in many things. This liquid element can make batteries when mixed with Oxygen and make red paint when mixed with Sulfur. Lastly, it can get rid of bacteria when mixed with Chlorine.
When the elements carbon and oxygen are put together does it make a compound or mixture?
If carbon molecules, such as nanotubes, buckyballs, or diamonds, are mixed with oxygen molecules, the result will be a mixture unless the molecules are heated enough to break apart, but if the atoms themselves are mixed, not already in molecule form, they will form the compound carbon dioxide (CO2).
