The "lead" in a number two pencil is graphite. Because it is the color of lead, it is called that...but it's actually graphite, a lubricant. So if you get your zipper stuck, draw on it with a number two pencil..it works!
The "lead" in drawing pencils has various grades or hardness. The hardness of a drawing pencil is designated by a number and an H. The higher the number the harder the pencil is, the slower it wears done, the longer it retains its point, the less it smudges and the lighter the line is that is drawn. For example, 6H pencils are harder than 2H pencils. The softness of a pencil is designated by a number and a B. The higher the number the softer the pencil is, the faster it wears down, the easier it is to smudge and blend, and the darker the line is that is drawn. For example 8B pencils are softer than 2B pencils. There is a standard, middle of the road pencil, the HB pencil, sometimes called the Number two pencil. This has some of the drawing qualities of both hard and soft pencils and in a pinch will serve for most drawing and writing needs.
on normal pencils its HB which stands for hard black and the 'b' on other pencils stands for black and the higher the number is on the pencil the less amount of clay is in the pencil which means that pencil mark is a darker and softer
i like to use a good lead pencil number 1 because the lead isn't as hard as a number 2 pencil and therefore is easier to shade with. Good luck with your drawing!
Probably Yes , the two are one in the same despite having different names .
The number two in reference to a pencil denotes the relative hardness of the graphite or "lead" that is in the pencil, HB being softer and three being harder, etc.
The metaphor "sharper than a number two pencil" means that someone is smart or fast-acting.

Three is a number, three hundred is a number, three hundred forty is a number, three hundred forty-two is a number, forty is a number, forty-two is a number, forty-two hundred is a number, two is a number, and two hundred is a number, but three hundred forty-two hundred is not a number.

Yes ,as long as it has number two lead.

Pencils have never been made from lead. They are made with Graphite, a form of carbon. So you can not get lead poisoning from a pencil.
