Actually, what you are asking is referring to the hardness of the pencil. So both, 0.5mm and 0.7mm are the same hardness as number two pencils. The number of lead, 0.5, is a thinner lead in diameter to the 0.7.

Is a 7 mm mechanical pencil the same as a number 2 pencil?

The "number 2" designation refers to the "hardness" of the lead. The higher the number, the "harder" The "7mm" designation refers to the "thickness" of the lead. The higher the number, the thicker. They are not the same pencil.

Why is pencil lead made out of Graphite?

Because pencil "lead" is not lead. Pencils haven't used lead cores since Roman times. However, lead poisoning was still possible up until the mid 20th century as the painted wooden casing often contain high concentrations of lead. Confusion about the source of the poisoning may have led (sic) people to think the core was actually made of lead, however the term "lead" does not refer to the carbon element itself, it's just a general term for a pencil's core. "Put some graphite in your pencil" just doesn't have the same ring to it as "put some lead in your pencil".

Can a dog eat lead that is for a lead pencil?

I wouldn't suggest just letting your dog chew on a pencil, but I don't think it will kill them. My dog has chewed on several pencils (without me knowing until finding the evidence) and so far nothing has happened to her. She was still the same as far as hyper activity and she didn't vomit or have diarrhea. But, with that, all dogs are different just as people are different and one dog might react to something differently than another.
