What element element is in the carbon family often mistaken for the end of your pencil?
Pencils use Graphite, not lead. Graphite is made of carbon, and no one mistakes a pencil of having carbon. They may mistake it of having lead, in which it is corrected that pencils no longer use lead-but instead use Graphite, which is made of carbon. It is not often mistaken that a pencil is made of carbon. Because it is made of carbon, so how you can make a mistake by thinking the pencil is made of graphite? Its true, not a mistake. This riddle is probably backwards? Or its just a trick question, I dont even know.
Is pencil lead is Pb free?
There is no lead in pencil - Pencil is made from graphite
A diamond and a pencil are made of what element?
A diamond and a pencil lead (graphite) are both made of carbon. The difference is the crystalline structure of the carbon atoms.
What is the primary constituent of pencil lead?
It's not a 'lead' pencil it's made primarily of graphite
What objects can lead be made into?
pencil . The 'lead' in a pencil is actually graphite.
Which element is a diamond and your pencil lead graphite made of?
hydrogen
What is made out of lead?
Lead is an element, it is not made of anything but lead. But if you are talking about pencil lead then pencil lead is made of graphite.
What is a pencil lead made out of graphite?
Pencil leads are always made out of graphite. The term lead comes from history, when they were made from lead, but they are now made from graphite.
What element is a diamond and pencil lead made out of?
Carbon. Diamond is the crystalline form, while graphite (pencil "lead") is the powdered form.
A diamond and your pencil lead graphite are made of this same element?
graphite in a pencil and diamond are from carbon .both are the allotrope of carbon

Is pencil lead element or a compound or a mixture?
Pencil lead is a mixture of graphite (or other colored pigment) and a binder (e.g. clay, wax, plastic, grease).
How is the lead for a pencil made?
Pencil is made from graphite
Is graphite a material in lead?
Graphite is the material that pencil "lead" is made from, but lead in it's strictest sense refers to the element itself (Pb on the periodic table).
What is a pencil lead made of?
Pencil lead is made of graphite and clay. Newer recipes for pencil lead use waxy polymers to bind the graphite to produce a lead that does not snap when the pencil is flexed.
Is pencil lead a compound or an element or an homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?
Pencil lead is actually not lead (Pb) at all, but it is graphite. And graphite is simply carbons atoms. So, no, it is NOT a compound mixture.
Which element is present in pencil?
The grey or black core of a pencil is made of graphite which is a form (known as an allotrope) of the element carbon. To vary the hardness of the 'lead' in the pencil the graphite may be mixed with clay or some other substances.
