Answer 2

Answer:

This may come as a shock to some people but lead pencils do not contain any lead. The “lead” actually is a mixture of graphite and clay; the more graphite, the softer and darker the point.

Explanation-

1. Lead pencils contain graphite (a form of carbon), not lead. In fact, contrary to what many people believe, lead pencils never were made with lead. The ancient Romans used a writing device called a stylus. Instead, blocks of graphite were sawed into sticks to be used as writing implements.
2. There is no risk of lead poisoning if you stab yourself (or someone else) with a pencil because it contains no lead — just a mixture of clay and graphite. Still, pencil wounds carry a risk of infection for the stabees, lawsuits for stabbers.
