Lead pencils - Very well known to us .
Till we have started to school we are well aware of this .
Lets come to the topic .
The lead pencils really are not lead(pb ).
After researching a lot I found the answer .
That when graphite was first discovered ,
The early metallurgist were confused by the shinny look of carbon , so they meant it to be lead . And from that time it was used in pencil cores . After a long period of time it was discovered that it was a shinny allotrope of carbon . But the mighty immortal lead name prevail with pencil till now even if it is free of lead (pb).
