Solution

Sand is in the fundamental solid state. This is because the particles in sand are closely packed together and can only vibrate around their fixed position. They do not have enough energy to move past each other freely, which is a characteristic of particles in the liquid state.

However, sand is able to flow like a liquid when it is poured. This is because the grains of sand are small and are able to move independently from each other. This independent movement allows the sand to flow and take the shape of its container, similar to a liquid.

The particles inside the sand grains themselves are also in a solid state. They are tightly packed and can only vibrate around their fixed positions. They do not have enough energy to move past each other.

So, in terms of the particles, the properties of sand can be explained by the fact that it is in the solid state, but its small, independent grains allow it to flow like a liquid.
