its used for pencils
There is no lead in a lead pencil, it's actually graphite. Graphite is composed of carbon, and so is diamond... different atomic structures yield incredibly different minerals, both extremely useful in industry and science. A single crystal of graphite, and a lot of tape, stuck together and pulled apart repeatedly, will eventually result in a layer of graphite one atom thick, which cannot be separated any further, and is called graphene. Graphene is one of the strongest, lightest, and most conductive minerals known, and it's discoverers were awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in physics.

WhaT of these is true about graphite?
Some interesting facts about graphite are that it shares the same chemical composition as a diamond, but not atomic structure. Also graphite is brittle, smudges if handled, and can be used as a conductor for electricity.
What is the luster of a graphite?
Graphite is black and posseses dull appearance
What is slippery carbon?
Graphite Powder or graphite is the slippery type of Carbon! :) hope I helped! :P
What mineral is used in pencils?
Graphite.
What is graphite made of?

What is a form of carbon that makes a good lubricant?
Graphite (I think)
What is the difference between carbon graphite and graphite?
because carbon graphite had carbon but graphite does not have carbon
What is the correct label for pencil lead?
You think probable to graphite.
What is graphite's transparency?
Graphite does not have a transparency.
Is graphite a resource?
No, graphite is not renewable.
Where does graphite come from?
Graphite mines
What is the luster of a graphite?
Graphite is black and posseses dull appearance
How does the structure of graphite account for the design of graphite electrodes?
The structure of graphite accounts for the design of graphite electrodes in the sense that the tight structural composition of graphite makes it easy for them to be arranged in electrodes.
Is a non metallic conductor?
Water Graphite is an excellent electrical conductor.
What are some of uses of 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 ;)
