How common is graphite?

Graphite is not rare as we know it. Graphite is an allotrope of the element carbon, and carbon is relatively abundant in the earth's crust. You can read more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphite


Is Graphite an Ionic Compound?

No, it is a pure form of the element carbon composed of sheets of covalently bonded atoms.


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 galena used in pencils?

No, we don't use galena is pencils. Galena is the primary ore of the metal lead, and this mineral, PbS, is recovered for that purpose. We also often recover silver as a byproduct of lead processing. It is graphite that is used in pencils, and the mineral graphite is an allotrope of carbon.


The lead in a pencil is made from what mineral?

The "lead" is a mixture of GRAPHITE and CLAY. It is squirted out like spaghetti and baked hard.
