Pencil fact


Ever thought why are we able to write with pencil but not a black plastic or some other material...?

Pencil is made of Graphite which is made of carbon atoms held in the form of layer structure as shown in the picture.


These layers can easily slip, slide over. So when we write we just force them to slip and stick to the paper.
