yes
Graphite is present in pencil leads. it is composed of carbon atoms covalently bonded with each other, and 1 free valence electron in each atom (which explains why graphite/pencil-lead conducts electricity)
The metamorphic rock commonly found in a pencil is graphite. Graphite is a soft, black mineral that forms from the metamorphism of carbon-rich sediments. It is composed of layers of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal pattern.
A pencil consists of a thin stick of pigment (usually graphite, but can also be coloured pigment or charcoal) and clay, usually encased in a thin wood cylinder, though paper and plastic sheaths are also used. (Lead) from a pencil is actually graphite which is 100% carbon Graphite and carbon black, all elementary Carbon (C)
A diamond and a pencil lead (graphite) are both made of carbon. The difference is the crystalline structure of the carbon atoms.
Graphite is not magnetic as it is made out of carbon. E.g; Pencil lead is mostly made out of graphite, it is NOT magnetic.
allotrope of carbon i.e. graphite

Trick question. There is no metal in a "lead" pencil. The insert is composed of graphite, which is a carbon similar to coal.
The main element found in pencil lead is graphite. This form of carbon is mixed with clay to create the core of a pencil. Other elements, such as small amounts of wax or additives, may also be used in the production of pencil lead.
The chemical equation for pencil lead, which is mainly made of graphite, is C, where C represents carbon. Graphite is composed primarily of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice structure.
Well yes...but why would you want to? The lead in a pencil is composed of graphite, not actual lead. Graphite is a soft form of carbon and very greasy. See link.

No, graphite in a pencil is not magnetic. Graphite is a form of carbon and does not possess magnetic properties.
The "lead" of a pencil is made from graphite, which is a form of carbon.
Pencils are made by graphite. It is a form of carbon. Graphite has sp2 hybridized carbon atoms.
The core of a pencil is typically made of graphite mixed with clay. Graphite is a crystalline form of carbon, while clay is a mineral composed of finely-grained particles of hydrous aluminum silicates.
Pencil lead is actually not lead (Pb) at all, but it is graphite. And graphite is simply carbons atoms. So, no, it is NOT a compound mixture.
