What mineral is a pencil made up of?
The "lead" of a pencil is made from graphite, which is a form of carbon.
Why is pencil insoluble?
The pencil lead is not lead but is made from soft graphite carbon and insoluble except as carbon tetra chloride
What is a pencil ''lead'' really made of?
Graphite, a form of carbon.
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.
Where you carbon found?
Carbon is found almost everywhere. The graphite in a pencil is made of carbon. Diamonds are made of carbon. All cells also require carbon as a vital structural component. So, you are also full of carbon.
What mineral is a pencil made up of?
The "lead" of a pencil is made from graphite, which is a form of carbon.
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 a pencil lead made off?
It is made of graphite, or carbon.
Why is pencil insoluble?
The pencil lead is not lead but is made from soft graphite carbon and insoluble except as carbon tetra chloride
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
What element is diamond and pencil lead made of?
Carbon
What element is diamond and your pencil lead are made of this?
carbon
Is pencil magnetic?
No. Also, "pencil lead" is not lead; it is almost always graphite (made of carbon)
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.
What is pencil lead made of?
Graphite and carbon black, all elementary Carbon (C)
What element is in a pencil and a diamond?
there both made up of carbon
What is a pencil ''lead'' really made of?
Graphite, a form of carbon.
