No, an atom is the smallest unit of an element that retains its chemical properties. An element is a pure substance made up of a specific type of atom. Elements are represented by their unique atomic number on the periodic table.
Sand is not a compound and haven't a molar mass; also different types of sand exist.
This is a tough one. First you have to decide which type of sand is 'sand'. Sand comes in many different grain sizes and in many different densities. If you have defined your sand, take a known volume, weigh it and do the math!

The preponderance of the elements in sand are silicon or oxygen, with twice as many oxygen atoms as silicon atoms. In naturally occurring sand, some impurities with additional elements as iron are usually present in small amounts.
There are an estimated 10^20 atoms in a grain of sand, and each atom contains protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are composed of quarks, so there are billions of quarks in a grain of sand.
The answer to the enduring question of the smallest thing in the universe has evolved along with humanity. People once thought grains of sand were the building blocks of what we see around us. Then the atom was discovered, and it was thought indivisible until it was split to reveal protons, neutrons, and electrons inside. These too, seemed like fundamental particles, before scientists discovered that protons and neutrons are made of three quarks each.
All of the natural ones (88 of them) too many to name!

Depends on the size of the can and the density of the sand.
That depends on how deep the sand is.
Sand is composed of minerals like quartz and silica which are not magnetic materials. Magnetic materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt are attracted to magnets due to their electron configuration that allows them to interact with magnetic fields. Since sand does not have this property, it is not attracted to magnets.
