Bai knocks ha that's an interesting property of graphite itself graphite is made of layers of carbon atoms these carbon atoms look like flat sheets on top of each other connected by bonds that are kind of weak this allows the sheet of carbon atoms to slide easily so when you drag a piece of graphite across a piece of paper it leaves a mark Wow who knew there is so much going on in such a simple looking thing that's right my friend did you know when people found how messy it was to use a graphite stick they originally used string or cloth to cover the graphite then wou came up with the idea of using wood it is believed that an Italian couple came up with this genius idea in 1560 however later in 1795 an officer in the napoleon army nicolas sharks Conte came up with what we see as modern pencils today the process was simple he roasted a mixture of water clay and graphite at 1900 Fahrenheit and encased a small wooden covering over it but what's the use of this mixture when graphite worked so well this mixture helped him create different kinds of pencils the more the clay the mixture had the lighter was the stroke of the pencil this is how the HB scale was invented Trev your time in the HB scale H stands for hard and B means black graphite has been derived from the Greek word graphene which means to write so friends where was graphite discovered till the time you rack your brain to come up with the right answer I'll go make some sketches with me tune in next time for more fun facts this is us out hey kids you liked my videos didn't you before you go don't forget to click on the subscribe button and the bell so you won't miss out on my latest videos hahahaha see you
