Graphite is mainly composed of carbon. Carbon makes up most of the molecular structures in our cells, so it won't do much harm if any. Graphite is mainly used In pencil lead, although there is actually no lead in it, we just call it that.
Graphite has an extremely low reactivity. Graphite can react with oxygen and sulfuric acid.
Graphite is not magnetic as it is made out of carbon. E.g; Pencil lead is mostly made out of graphite, it is NOT magnetic.
Graphite is a solid.
Graphite mixed with china clay.
Diamond, graphite and carbon black are the most common allotropes of CARBON
Graphite is considered non-toxic and environmentally safe. That's not saying that you should be eating it! :)
Yes you can die from eating led but, if it was a number 3 pencil that someone ate its graphite and you can only die from lead if you eat a lot of it for example half of a pencil or a whole pencil.
pretty darn sick
yes! eating the nip of pencil is harmful if its made up of graphite
yes if it is on the tip of an arrow that hits you in the mouth!
No you cannot. Lead is not used in pencils, graphite is used instead. Graphite and clay is used and the proportion of graphite to clay is adjusted according to the hardness required.
you wont die from licking a pencil its just graphite no joke i sometimes eat the graphite and im fine not in the head but im fine
Graphite itself is not toxic and typically not harmful if ingested or inhaled in small amounts. However, inhaling large amounts of graphite dust can cause respiratory irritation. Eating a large amount of graphite could cause a blockage in the digestive system, leading to serious health issues.
It may die from eating mold.
No you cannot die from eating to many vegetables
There is no lead in pencils ! The 'lead' is actually graphite, clay and wax - mixed in various proportions.
Pencil "lead" is actually made of graphite, not lead. Graphite is non-toxic and generally safe to ingest in small amounts, so eating a small piece of pencil lead is unlikely to make you sick. However, it is always best to avoid ingesting any non-food items.
