When writing with a pencil, how does the lead that is being laid out on the paper not fall off the page and stick?
In: Chemistry
The lead rubs it self over because Technically its not lead the metal. but graphite. Or carbon. or burned wood. Its stack of layerd carbon which can easily slid off and stick to the surface.
You can do a experiment, draw a tiny circle, then keep drawing in the circle, past a certain point, the lead just simply builds up as power, and when you lift the paper, the lead powder falls off.
