The Second Generation Apple Pencil is not compatible with the 10th Generation iPad.
The 10th Gen iPad doesn't even have a magnetic connector panel to attach the pencil for paring and charging, so not even sure how you are attempting to pair it to a 10th Generation iPad at all.
The 10th Generation iPad is compatible with the First Generation Apple Pencil only. You will need the USB-C to Lighting Adapter to charge and pair it with the iPad.
