we get lead of pencil from the mixture of clay and graphite
Pencil lead is not actually made of lead, but rather a mixture of graphite and clay. The graphite provides the writing substance, while the clay helps bind it together and gives the lead its structure.
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.

No, pencil "lead" is not made of the metal lead. It is actually made of a mixture of graphite and clay. The term "lead" is a misnomer that dates back to when graphite was mistakenly thought to be a type of lead.
Lead isn't actually used in pencils; the "lead" in pencils is made of a mixture of graphite and clay. The graphite/clay mixture is pressed into a thin rod and inserted into the wooden casing of a pencil.
Yes, pencil lead is homogeneous because it is a mixture of graphite and clay that is uniform in composition throughout. This uniformity allows the pencil lead to have consistent writing properties.
Pencil lead is a mixture of graphite (or other colored pigment) and a binder (e.g. clay, wax, plastic, grease).
