Answer:Electrical Conductivity,soluble

Step-by-step explanation:

Salt is a non-magnetic solid and is soluble in water. Sand is a non-magnetic solid and is insoluble in water.

Electrical Conductivity: Salt is an electrolyte and conducts electricity when dissolved in water or in a molten state. This is because salt dissociates into ions (Na+ and Cl-) that can carry electric current. In contrast, sand is a covalent compound and does not conduct electricity, as it does not dissociate into ions in the same way as salt. Sand is considered an insulator in terms of electrical conductivity.
