General knowledge
Science GK, asked often: a pencil 'lead' is actually made of graphite (a form of carbon) mixed with clay, not lead; graphite is soft because its layers slide over each other; diamond is another form of carbon and is the hardest natural substance.
विज्ञान GK में अक्सर पूछा जाता है: पेंसिल की 'lead' वास्तव में मिट्टी मिला graphite (कार्बन का एक रूप) है, सीसा नहीं; graphite नरम है क्योंकि इसकी परतें एक-दूसरे पर फिसलती हैं; हीरा कार्बन का दूसरा रूप है और सबसे कठोर प्राकृतिक पदार्थ है।
