A #2 pencil will usually have the number 2 on the barrel, near the eraser end.
A pencil works by leaving a trail of graphite on paper as it is dragged across the surface. The graphite in the pencil is soft and leaves a mark when pressure is applied, allowing for writing or drawing.
The eraser on a pencil is typically made of a synthetic rubber compound called styrene-butadiene. This material is designed to be soft and pliable, allowing it to effectively remove pencil marks without damaging the paper.
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.
The volume of a typical pencil is approximately 2 cubic centimeters.
It is non metallic. The pencil 'lead' is graphite which is a common mineral, a soft carbon
Usually on most pencils it says it on the case or on the side of the pencil by the eraser it says PENCIL #2 or #2.Hope i helped!:)
the graphite in the pencil is soft, when you write/draw it rubs off on to the paper. (Graphite is a soft metal)
Pencil tool is similar with Brush with some basic difference: you can not paint with soft stroke with Pencil Tool.
The softer the pencil is the thicker and darker a line it will leave
To make it harder. Pure graphite would be too soft for use as a writing pencil.
The main body of a pencil is made from soft wood, the 'lead' is made from graphite. The lead can come in many different sizes depending on the pencil holding it.
It is graphite, a soft crystalline carbon.
it looks like a pencil
No, he just used graphite (a naturally occuring drawing medium). The figure of the prince is drawn with a soft pencil and the background flowers with a hard pencil. Soft pencil makes an image darker, while a hard pencil makes an image lighter or silver.
Because you skin is far too soft, a pencil lead needs a rougher surface to leave a mark.

The pencil doe not write. It is the person that picks up the pencil that writes with the pencil. when the point of the pencil is put to a surface ( IE. a sheet of paper) to be written on the graphite tip being soft is worn down leaving a line on the surface of the paper.
