If you're talking about pencil lead, it's made up of layers and layers of carbon. For example, when you write with pencil, the lines that you make on paper are just layers of carbon that had come off your pencil lead.

Why is carbon used in pencil lead?
carbon fibre
Is lead an allotrope of carbon?
NO! Lead is a chemical element itself, with no particular relation to carbon, which is another chemical element. The common allotropes of carbon are diamond and graphite. -------- Lead is the common name for the substance in a 'lead' pencil which does indeed contain an allotrope of carbon known as graphite.
What metal is produced by carbon and lead oxide?
Lead
What element is a nonmetal in the same group as Pb?
Carbon is in the same group as lead.
Why is pencil insoluble?
The pencil lead is not lead but is made from soft graphite carbon and insoluble except as carbon tetra chloride
Is pencil lead real lead?
No, there has never been any real lead in pencil lead. It is a mixture of graphite (carbon) and clay.
What substance is formed when formed when lead oxide is mixed with carbon?
lead oxide + carbon-> lead + carbon dioxide
Which has the most lead aluminum or pencil lead?
Pencil lead isn't really lead, it is graphite, a form of carbon. Pencil lead doesn't have any lead in it whatsoever.
Is there carbon in lead?
no.perhaps you are thinking of pencil lead, which isn't lead. its carbon in form of graphite.
What elements does lead contain?
Pencil lead contains the element carbon in the form (allotrope) of graphite. The powdered graphite is mixed with a clay binder.Pencil lead has never contained any lead.
What is formed when lead oxide is heated with carbon?
When lead oxide is heated with carbon, carbon dioxide and lead are formed as the products 2PbO+C -->CO2+2Pb
What is the family of lead?
Lead is in the carbon family.
Lead 2 Carbonate into lead oxide and carbon dioxide?
No.Lead (ii) carbonate --> lead (ii) oxide + carbon
