Graphite is a form of Carbon, so its carbon in lead graphite. Notice that lead itself is a different element but the term "lead graphite" is generally used for that black substance which makes the "lead pencils".
Note that there is no lead in lead pencils, its carbon, in the shape of graphite.
What else can I help you with?
What element in the periodic table is used in lead with pencials?
None. Lead is an element on the periodic tablewith the Atomic No 82.
Graphite in a pencil lead is made up of the element?
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 element we are going to found as gramite in pencil?
GraMite is not an element, however graPHite is one of the allotropes of carbon, element C, atomnumber 6.Used in pencils this hexagonal latticed Carbon is often called 'lead', (but it surely is not elemental lead 82Pb)
What elements found in pencil?
Modern pencil "lead" is made from the element Carbon (C) - in its soft form of graphite - plus a filler (like clay), all ground up very fine and then stuck together with glue. It has none of the actual chemical element Lead (Pb).Further informationThe name "lead" is used because, before modern pencils were invented, it was known that a pure piece of the element Lead (Pb) can be used to make marks on wood or paper because it is very soft. It is not used today because real Lead and its compounds are poisonous and also very expensive compared to Carbon. (Carbon is basically soot.)
Is graphite an element or compound or mixture?
Graphite is an element. It is composed entirely of carbon atoms arranged in a specific crystalline structure.
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.
What element is pencil in?
Many people call it lead but it is actually graphite.
Which element is a diamond and your pencil lead graphite made of?
hydrogen
What is the element of pencil lead?
The element of pencil lead is graphite, which is not actually lead but rather a form of carbon. Graphite is a good conductor of electricity and is commonly used in pencils due to its ability to leave marks on paper.
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).
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.
What is the chemical element of lead?
The chemical symbol for lead (element) is Pb. THe formula is Pb2 Pencil lead however, is a mix of graphite and clay.
What elements are used as lead in pencils?
The lead in pencils is made of the element carbon, in the form of graphite. Graphite powder is mixed with clay and wax. The more graphite the pencil contains, the softer the lead, and darker the mark.
What elements does lead contain?
Pencil lead contains the element carbon in the form (allotrope) of graphite. The powdered graphite is mixed with a clay binder.Pencil lead has never contained any lead.
Is lead an allotrope of carbon?
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.
What element in the periodic table is used in lead with pencials?
None. Lead is an element on the periodic tablewith the Atomic No 82.
Is pencil lead a compound or an element or an homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?
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.
