Im not sure but i think u shoukld hollow the middle
I can make a iron nail float. Simply melt some lead and the iron will float on top of the lead. Your question seems to be with regard to how do Boats float and the answer is Bouyancy. The Boat displaces a volume of water and if the weight of the displaced water is less than the weight of the boat, the boat will float.
you can make pencil material
No
pencil lead is not charcoal but rather graphite molded with clay and hardened
Graphite is used to make pencil lead, but it is not a form of coal.
A "pencil lead" is a mixture of the graphite allotrope of carbon mixed with clay and baked hard. While a pencil lead will conduct electricity, it can not be used to make a light bulb.
With wood and lead
Graphite.
Although they both still have the same basic elements (i.e. pencil and lead vs water), there is a physical state change that occurs when you freeze water to make ice. Sharpening/shaving down a pencil only results in a difference of shape and size. It's about the same as ripping paper vs burning paper. Also, freezing water to make ice is a reversible change (you can melt ice to turn it back into water) and shaving a pencil is an irreversible change (you can't sharpen a pencil and then put the pencil shavings back onto the pencil.)
If the object does not quite float in water, adding salt to the water might make the object float, yes.
Pencil lead used to explode fairly easily when I lived in Bulgaria in 1995. We used to make it explode with only a lighter. It would take about a minute to make a 2 inch piece of lead explode. When I moved to America, I was sad to find that American pencil lead does not explode.
When graphite was first discovered it was thought to be a kind of black lead, rather than a form of carbon. It was quickly found to easily make marks, but brittle and needed support. The wooden lead pencil was born
