Graphite in pencil lead is made up of the element carbon. In its crystalline form, carbon atoms are arranged in layers, allowing them to slide over each other easily, which is why graphite is used for writing. The softness of graphite also makes it suitable for producing marks on paper.
What else can I help you with?
A diamond and a pencil are made of what element?
A diamond and a pencil lead (graphite) are both made of carbon. The difference is the crystalline structure of the carbon 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.
What objects can lead be made into?
pencil . The 'lead' in a pencil is actually graphite.
Is pencil lead is Pb free?
There is no lead in pencil - Pencil is made from graphite
What is Pencil lead made out of?
Graphite, which is a complex molecule of carbon atoms.
Which element is a diamond and your pencil lead graphite made of?
hydrogen
What is made out of lead?
Lead is an element, it is not made of anything but lead. But if you are talking about pencil lead then pencil lead is made of graphite.
What element is a diamond and pencil lead made out of?
Both diamonds and pencil lead are made out of the element carbon. The difference lies in their structures: diamonds have a crystal lattice structure, while pencil lead is made up of layers of graphite.
Which element is present in pencil?
The grey or black core of a pencil is made of graphite which is a form (known as an allotrope) of the element carbon. To vary the hardness of the 'lead' in the pencil the graphite may be mixed with clay or some other substances.
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.
Which element is mistaken for the end of your pencil?
Graphite is often mistaken for the end of a pencil because pencils are made with graphite, which is a form of carbon. Many people mistakenly think the core of a pencil is lead, but it is actually graphite.
A diamond and a pencil are made of what element?
A diamond and a pencil lead (graphite) are both made of carbon. The difference is the crystalline structure of the carbon atoms.
What element element is in the carbon family often mistaken for the end of your pencil?

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.

How is the lead for a pencil made?
Pencil is made from graphite
Is pencil lead element or a compound or a mixture?
Pencil lead is a mixture of graphite (or other colored pigment) and a binder (e.g. clay, wax, plastic, grease).
What is a pencil lead made of?
Pencil "lead" is actually made of graphite, which is a form of carbon. The graphite is mixed with clay to give it form and strength. These mixture of graphite and clay are then encased in wood to create a pencil.
Is graphite a material in lead?
Graphite is the material that pencil "lead" is made from, but lead in it's strictest sense refers to the element itself (Pb on the periodic table).
