When graphite was first discovered it was thought to be a kind of black lead, rather than a form of carbon. It was quickly found to easily make marks, but brittle and needed support. The wooden lead pencil was born
No. Also, "pencil lead" is not lead; it is almost always graphite (made of carbon)
Graphite.
The predecessor of the graphite pencil was the lead pencil, which used a mixture of graphite and clay for the core instead of just graphite. Lead pencils were first developed in the 16th century.
The tip of a pencil is called the lead, which is actually made of a mixture of graphite and clay. It is the part of the pencil that is used for writing or drawing.
A lead of a pencil is a conductor because it is made of graphite, which allows electricity to flow through it. Graphite is a good conductor of electricity due to the free movement of electrons in its molecular structure.
Many people call it lead but it is actually graphite.
You think probable to graphite.
Pencil "lead" is actually made of graphite, which is a form of carbon. The graphite is mixed with clay to give it form and strength. These mixture of graphite and clay are then encased in wood to create a pencil.
There is no lead in pencil - Pencil is made from graphite
we get lead of pencil from the mixture of clay and graphite
Pencil lead is made of graphite and clay. Newer recipes for pencil lead use waxy polymers to bind the graphite to produce a lead that does not snap when the pencil is flexed.

pencil . The 'lead' in a pencil is actually graphite.
No ,because there is no lead in a graphite pencil, only carbon.
