Graphite is not a metal! It is a crystalline form of carbon in single atom thick sheets.
Pencil "lead" is not really lead, the metal - Pb. Pencils are made with graphite which is a mineral, an insulator.
Tt depends on the metal which is the cathode and which is the anode. However, in most cases, graphite is the cathode and the metal is the anode. the strictly correct answer is that BOTH the metal and the graphite rod are electrodes. You must have two electrodes minimum to create a cell.
nonmetal, because it is a form of carbon and carbon is a nonmetal.
Metal can stick to graphite due to a phenomenon called adhesion, where two surfaces come into contact and create intermolecular forces that hold them together. In this case, van der Waals forces between the atoms of the metal and the graphite can cause them to stick together. Additionally, the rough surface of graphite can provide more contact points for the metal, further enhancing the adhesion.
No, graphite is not stronger than aluminum. Aluminum is a metal known for its strength and durability, while graphite is a form of carbon known for its lightness and lubricating properties.
Graphite is not a metal.

Graphite is a form of carbon.
Graphite is the only non-metal exception that can conduct electricity. Hence, even though graphite is a non-metal, it is used in batteries.
graphite is a form of carbon that forms in layers which is why it is able to be used in pencils, because the layers can slide off and get left on the page. Anyway carbon is a non-metal so graphite is a non-metal.

Carbon, when it is in the form of graphite.
Graphite is the material commonly used in pencils, not metal. The graphite is mixed with clay to create the core of the pencil, which is then encased in wood.
There are no metals in graphite. Graphite is a pure crystalline form (allotrope) of the non-metal element carbon. The confusion arises because graphite conducts electricity.
