Why is graphite known as black lead

Answers

Answered by surykantgaikwad2104

Answer:

Graphite didn't come into widespread use for writing until after the 1564 discovery of a very pure graphite deposit in Borrowdale, England. At the time, graphite was thought to be a type of lead and consequently was called black lead or plumbago.
