Sand itself doesnt take the shape of the container its all of sand put together that takes theshape of a container. if you just get a single grain of sand...its not going to take the shape. you need a lot of it.
I think sand is INSOLUBLE because it never desolves. example: the sea has a massive amount of sand in it, and if sand WAS soluble most of the sand would have been gone buy now.
Other AnswersThere are two different kinds of solubility: in water (hydrophilic) and in fats (lipophilic), in other words solubility in polar substances and in nonpolar substances. Sand is chemically seen a mixture of different substances, some of them polar (salts) and some nonpolar (organic material), so it depends on the specific makeup of the sand you have. When you put sand in water, the hydrophilic components will be soluted, the remaining substances will give the water a usually yellowish clouding and eventually settle at the bottom.Sand has not a fixed chemical formula; sand may be silicon dioxide, calcium carbonate, lava and many others. The solubility in water of chemical compounds is very variable.
And also compounds with covalent bonding have a very low solubility.
1- sand has a specific volume but a gas does not, 2-sand can not adopt a shape of drop while liquids do, 3- sand has the visible particles while a liquid and a gas does not, 4- sand has a melting point while liquids and gases do not, so sand is a solid material.
it is
The sand particles are too big to fit in the water's particles. As well as dis.....
This is because water cannot break the bonds between silica(sand/SiO2/Silicon dioxide).
yes it is because it doesnt change shape though when you have a whole lot of sand it will change shape but one grain of sand will not change shape
sand is not a liquid because it is made up of fine rocks and minerals
.
ya sand is not soluble in water. bcoz it is only possible when the gaps of molecules of solvent is appropriate for the indegrients
i guess it could be either only Einstein will know but we can't ask him anymore coz he died over 3 months ago. ;)
sand is a solid but most people think it is not sand comes from the ocean and contains some elements in it technically, sand has a definite shape as a grain.
sand is solid if you look in the microscope it's solid
sand is solid if you look in the microscope it's solid
Sand is a solid due to its molecular arrangement.
A grain of sand is a network solid (covalent network solid).
sand doesn't change shape

If a grain of sand was as large as a truck you would think it solid. Just because it's small doesn't alter that.
Sand is a solid.
You can only pour sand... and i think if salt is a solid then you can pour salt. Hope this helped!
Each grain of sand is a solid.

Because a solid has a fixed shape while a liquid has no fixed shape. However, it is possible to pour dry sand and that IS a solid. Can you think of why that is
