Graphite itself is pure carbon.
But it might be possible for some samples of graphite to contain impurities of lead.

∙ 14y agoNo they are not the same thing. Lead used to be in pencils and now graphite is... The reason why graphite is being used is because of lead poisoning.

∙ 11y agoPencils do not use the real metal "lead". Instead, graphite is being used to make "pencil lead". Graphite is also the only non-metal that is a conductor of electricity.

How is conductive ink is made?
The conductive ink contain a very fine powder of graphite or other conductive material.
What element is present in lead graphite?
Graphite is a form of Carbon, so its carbon in lead graphite. Notice that lead itself is a different element but the term "lead graphite" is generally used for that black substance which makes the "lead pencils". Note that there is no lead in lead pencils, its carbon, in the shape of graphite.
What are some uses of carbon graphite?
carbon and graphite are one in the same, graphite is a form of carbon a use for graphite is the lead in your pencil (it's not actually lead, it's graphite) and it is also a good lubricant ;)
What happens if the lead in the pencil is consumed?
The lead in a pencil is actually graphite, a form of carbon. Graphite is not poisonous.
What is the primary constituent of pencil lead?
It's not a 'lead' pencil it's made primarily of graphite
Is conductive graphite a metal?
Graphite is not a metal.
How is conductive ink is made?
The conductive ink contain a very fine powder of graphite or other conductive material.
How do you make a circuit without wires?
Using tracks of metal such as on a PCB (printed circuit board) or using other electrically conductive material such as the graphite in 'lead' pencils.

Graphite is a form of Carbon, so its carbon in lead graphite. Notice that lead itself is a different element but the term "lead graphite" is generally used for that black substance which makes the "lead pencils". Note that there is no lead in lead pencils, its carbon, in the shape of graphite.
Are pencils made of lead or graphite?
both, lead is made of graphite.
When did pencils switch from lead to graphite?
Pencils were made of lead but it changed to graphite because they new the dangers of lead. 1564 was the time the United States switched to 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 is more conductive out of lead tin and solder?
Tin is more conductive. Lead is used to ease application.
Where does the lead from pencils come from?
The Lead in pencils come from graphite. Graphite is an allotrope of carbon.
What is the correct label for pencil lead?
You think probable to graphite.

carbon and graphite are one in the same, graphite is a form of carbon a use for graphite is the lead in your pencil (it's not actually lead, it's graphite) and it is also a good lubricant ;)
What mineral is used in pencils?
Graphite.
