please mark me as brainliest and thank me

Explanation:

The most well known use for graphite is to make "Leads" in pencils. In pencils the graphite is mixed with clay to change the hardness of the "Lead". ... This accounts for its low hardness. This is because the layers can slide over each other easily.

Answered by Choudharipawan123456

Graphite molecules are made up of layered layers of flat clusters of carbon atoms.
The layers rub against each other, causing the lead to fall from the pencil point or onto the paper.
Graphite is a type of carbon that is exceedingly brittle, as even the application of a slight level of pressure causes it to break, making it a perfect instrument for writing without the application of such a huge level of stress.
As a result, it is utilized to make pencil leads.
