Pencil "lead" is not really lead, the metal - Pb. Pencils are made with graphite which is a mineral, an insulator.
Lead is a soft ductile metal.
Argon is known to be non-metal. This forms in a group of 13 or more.
No. A pure diamond is carbon, and it is an allotrope of this element in the same way that graphite (pencil lead) is an allotrope of carbon. Thus, diamond is not a metal because carbon is not a metal.
No, lead is not a ferrous metal. Ferrous metals are those that contain iron, while lead is a non-ferrous metal.
Oxygen is a non-metal. It is a highly reactive element that typically forms covalent bonds with other elements.
carbon (C)
It is mainly carbon in the form of graphite.
A sharpened pencil lead is non-metallic. It is typically made of graphite, which is a non-metallic element.
They are mostly made of graphite which is a stable form of carbon :)
A covalent compound.
Lead is a soft ductile metal.
Lead is a soft ductile metal.

The lead in a pencil is actually made of graphite, not lead. Graphite is a non-toxic material that is soft and easily erasable, making it ideal for writing and drawing.
