Pencil Shavings
yes.
Well, isn't that a happy little question! Pencil shavings are actually a heterogeneous mixture because they are made up of different components like wood and graphite. Just like how each tree in a forest is unique, each pencil shaving has its own special blend of materials. Remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents!
Its a mixture
The hole in a pencil sharpener is called the "shaving hole" or the "sharpening hole." This is where you insert the pencil to sharpen it.
Its a mixture
Shaving cream is a heterogeneous mixture, as it is composed of multiple substances that do not dissolve or blend together uniformly. You can often see distinct layers or components within the mixture.
we get lead of pencil from the mixture of clay and graphite
A pencil is a mixture because it does not chemically bond, which needs to happen for it to be a compound. An element is something that is pure so a pencil cannot be an element.

Pencil lead is actually not lead (Pb) at all, but it is graphite. And graphite is simply carbons atoms. So, no, it is NOT a compound mixture.
A pencil sharpener typically does not have a pulley. It is a manual tool that uses a blade or a rotating mechanism to sharpen pencils by shaving the wood and lead.
