Colored pencil Colored pencil A colored pencil (US-English), coloured pencil (UK-English, Canada-English), pencil crayon (UK-English, Canada-English), lead or coloured/colouring lead (Newfoundland-English) is an art medium constructed of a narrow, pigmented core encased in a wooden cylindrical case. Unlike graphite and charcoal pencils, colored pencils’ cores are wax- or oil-based and contain varying proportions of pigments, additives, and binding agents. Water-soluble (watercolor) pencils and pastel pencils are also manufactured as well as colored leads for mechanical pencils. Colored pencils vary greatly in terms of quality and usability; concentration of pigments in the core, lightfastness of the pigments, durability of the colored pencil, and
Lead(II) thiocyanate has not been confirmed by other sources than the author of this article, experiments show that even if there is no precipitation of lead(II) thiocyanate in the solution, crystals of the salt may form. Lead(II) thiocyanate can be formed from the acidification of Lead Nitrate Pb(NO) with nitric acid (HNO) in the presence of Thiocyanic acid (HSCN) Lead(II) thiocyanate may be made by reacting lead(II) acetate (Pb(CHCOO)) solved in water with either potassium thiocyanate (KSCN) or ammonium thiocyanate (NHSCN), thus causing a white precipitation of solid lead(II) thiocyanate. Ion reaction: When exposed to UV or visible light lead thiocyanate will
