NO! Lead is a chemical element itself, with no particular relation to carbon, which is another chemical element. The common allotropes of carbon are diamond and graphite.
--------
Lead is the common name for the substance in a 'lead' pencil which does indeed contain an allotrope of carbon known as graphite.

What element is in both diamonds and pencil lead?
Carbon is the element found in both diamonds and pencil lead. In diamonds, carbon atoms are arranged in a crystal lattice structure, making it a prized and valuable gemstone. In pencil lead, carbon is in the form of graphite, which is a softer allotrope of carbon used for writing and drawing.
What is carbon allotrope made up of?
An allotrope is a form of an element that is made up of the same element, but with a different structure. Its different structure gives it different properties. So any allotrope of carbon is still made up of carbon, but has different physical characteristics. Graphite is perhaps the most common allotrope of carbon, but it is the same element as diamond. The most common allotropes of carbon are: -Graphite: The "lead" used in modern pencils -Diamond: A valuable precious stone that is usually clear -Buckminsterfullerene: Also known as "Buckyballs" this artificial allotrope of carbon is made up of small, soccerball shaped balls that each contain 60 atoms
Is ethane a allotrope?
No, ethane is not an allotrope. Allotropes are different structural forms of the same element, while ethane is a compound composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Are diamonds explosive?
NO!!! However, as an allotrope of carbon , they will change to graphite (another allotrope of carbon) on heating.
Can you convert one allotrope of carbon to the next allotrope of carbon?
From Wikipedia: "Allotropy or allotropism is a behavior exhibited by some chemical elements: these elements can exist in two or more different forms, known as allotropes of that element. In each allotrope, the element's atoms are bonded together in a different manner." Conversion, therefore (logically) would mean that one would be able to reduce the carbon allotrope to atoms and then re-assemble them into a different allotrope. For example, in order to form a diamond allotrope from a group of carbon atoms requires enormous amounts of pressure and temperature.
What allotrope does diamonds use?
Diamond is an allotrope of carbon.
Which is the allotrope of carbon discovered in 2010?
The carbon nanofoam is the 5th allotrope of carbon which is found in 1997.but it was confirmed in 2010.
Graphite is an allotrope of what element?
Diamond, graphite and carbon black are the most common allotropes of CARBON
What is an allotrope for carbon?
A diamond.
What mineral is the hardest substance known and an allotrope of carbon?
Diamond is the hardest mineral currently known and is an allotrope of carbon.
Is led wood?
Do you mean the metal lead or the lead in a penicil? Either way the answer is no. Lead, the metal, is an element with the symbol Pb. The 'lead' in a penicil is not lead but is a mixyure of graphite (which is an allotrope of Carbon) and clay.
What elements does lead contain?
Pencil lead contains the element carbon in the form (allotrope) of graphite. The powdered graphite is mixed with a clay binder.Pencil lead has never contained any lead.
What is a sentence with the word allotrope?
A diamond is an allotrope of carbon
What element in the periodic table is used in lead with pencials?
None. Lead is an element on the periodic tablewith the Atomic No 82.
Why is diamond classified as an allotrope of carbon?
It is one of forms of carbon
Why is graphite considered to be an allotrope of carbon?
Because it is an allotrope of carbon. It is a different structural form of the element carbon having a rather flat lattice structure that tends to be in sheets.
The allotrope of carbon bucky ball?
There are eight allotropes of carbon. Bucky ball is one of the allotrope of carbon. Bucky ball is also called fullerene
