They are not made the same- but they come from the same element- carbon. However, carbon can take different crystal shapes. One of those is graphite, a very different one is diamond.

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
Why are diamond and graphite polymorphic?
Diamond and Graphite are different states of the same element, Carbon.
Do diamond and graphite have the same hardness?
No they do not.
What do diamond graphite and buckminsterfullerene have in common?
Diamond, graphite, and buckminsterfullerene are made of pure carbon and are insoluble in water.
What are diamond and graphite made from?
They are made from Carbon (C).
Is the specific heat of diamond and graphite the same?
No
Carbon as graphite can be made into diamonds by putting the graphite under extreme pressure Which of the two materials do you think has the greater density graphite or diamond?
diamond
Are carbon and graphite same materialwhy?
Carbon fibers are made almost entirely of graphite. Carbon fiber composite, sometimes referred to as "carbon fiber", is made of carbon fibers and a matrix material, which is usually a plastic such as epoxy.
How are diamond and graphite?
both are made of carbon
What do the structural differences of diamond and graphite suggest?
diamond is the hardest substance known to science at this time, and graphite is a rather weak substance, and they are both made of the same elements. Their only differences are the arrangement of the molecules
How are diamonds and graphites different and the same?
Different is only the arrangement of atoms in diamond or graphite. Diamond and graphite are allotropic forms of carbon.
What do diamonds and pencil lead have in common?
Graphite is in pencils, and Graphite is made up of Carbon Atoms, the same as Diamond, the only difference is its structure, Diamond has 4 covalent Carbon Bonds, whereas, graphite as 3, and a spare delocalised electron, meaning, graphite forms layers and can be used as a lubricant.
