NO! Lead is a chemical element itself, with no particular relation to carbon, which is another chemical element. The common allotropes of carbon are diamond and graphite. -------- Lead is the common name for the substance in a 'lead' pencil which does indeed contain an allotrope of carbon known as graphite.

None. Lead is an element on the periodic tablewith the Atomic No 82.


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.
