Can you light diamond on fire?

Nitin Mereddy 15th Nov, 2021

Yes, diamond can be burned. The most common form of burning in everyday life is carbon combustion. In carbon combustion, carbon atoms break their bonds with each other and with other atoms (which requires energy) to form bonds with oxygen atoms (which releases even more energy than first required) (https://wtamu.edu/~cbaird/sq/mobile/2013/06/27/when-does-the-breaking-of-chemical-bonds-release-energy/)
