Pencils are versatile, portable, and easy to use for writing, drawing, and sketching. They are convenient for making quick notes, corrections, and sketches without the need for additional tools like erasers. Additionally, pencils are environmentally friendly as they can be easily sharpened and used again, reducing waste.
Graphite is the most common material used in pencils. It is a form of carbon that allows for smooth writing and drawing. The hardness of the graphite determines the darkness of the mark made by the pencil.
It is called "lead" because the original pencils were made from soft lead. However lead is a toxic heavy metal.Modern pencil "lead" is made of graphite and a binder. The most common binders are clay or plastic resin. This is completely nontoxic and the hardness can be precisely controlled to meet the requirements of different users.
No. This is totally untrue. There is no lead in pencils - not even in the paint they are painted with! The reason for this is caused by confusion over the name of the filler. The substance inside a pencil that does the actual writing is called graphite. This is a crystalline form of carbon (another is diamond, another is a substance called buckminsterfullerene, and the third, non-crystalline form, is charcoal). The graphite is often mixed with differing amounts of clay to create pencils of different hardnesses. Graphite is found as a mineral in the ground. Lead is also found as a mineral in the ground as the lead ore 'lead sulphide' or 'Galena'. The mineral Galena looks very similar to graphite, except that graphite is darker in colour than lead ore. Therefore, many years ago graphite used to be called 'black lead' from its appearance. So, when pencils were invented, they were filled with graphite - or 'black lead', and eventually this was shortened to 'lead' but there is absolutely no connection with the 'lead' (i.e. black lead) found in pencils with the metal lead. The "lead" in pencils was always, is, and always will be, made of graphite.
Some pencil's are filled with lead, but rarely any nowadays. Pencils use to be filled with lead, but now pencils are typically filled with graphite as lead is poisonous to humans.
The lightbulb was invented in 1879 by Thomas Edison and his team at Menlo Park. It revolutionized the way we illuminate our surroundings and is considered one of the most important inventions in modern history.
well he actually helped Konrad Zuse with the computer.
God has Invented the most important thing and given us the most important thing.Life and love.
everybody is the most important inventor ever because we are all special.
LHC - Large Hadron Collider
pencils have a wooden outer shell and a graphite core
toilets
it is about the most important thing that you will ever witness in your life.
most pencils come in different shapes and colors. but they mostly come in teal. and rarely come in yellow
What ever language your parents speak. where ever you live.
1920's because the economy was good and most things were invented. So were the1950s because it had the most important wars in it and had the most important inventions and also Rock and Roll was invented in the 1950s.1950s
33 pencils would cost 6.93, so that is the most you could get.
Most likely write something extremely important.
