Its a non metal but good conductor of electricity and it is made of triple bond and three dimensonal.

Aside from being the material in your lead pencils, graphite is of tremendous value as an industrial material. It is used to make the brushes for electric motors and generators, and it has wide use as an electrode in a number of applications, primarily batteries.

Graphite has been, is, and will continue to be critically important to maintaining and advancing modern civilization. And this because it is in things we use every day, and because it is used in industrial processes that provide the foundation we build our society on.

If pencil writes black due to graphite then which element is used in color pencils.

Lead is used because it is soft and easy to sharp.

graphite and pencil is having same features.

Its a derivative of diamond and used in pencil and very soft.

Its a carbon compound and the graphite is very soft that's why it will easily broken.

The central lead of pencil is made of graphite which is black, soft and hence makes markable impressions on the paper.

As we all know carbon is a black element and the graphite is the softest allotropes of carbon. If you try. To break a pencil you will find the middle black part (graphite).

Easily breaks it makes impression on light surface it imparts carbon to the surface of paper therefore graphite is used in pencil.

Graphite is the allotropes of carbon. It is black and soft.
