Yes, lead is a metal that is usually found in pencils, hence the name "Lead, pencil."

The above statement is completely and utterly wrong, there has never and still is no lead at all in pencils, that's graphite.

Also lead is a poor metal or malleable metal.

Actually, pencils used to use lead, but they switched to graphite because people would chew on their pencils and give themselves lead poisoning.
