eli5 since diamonds are compressed carbon is it combustible? I don’t think so but why?

You can burn diamonds, but they are actually very conductive, so they lose any heat you dump into them very easily, and thus are difficult to heat up to burning temperatures. If you do put them in a blowtorch hot enough for long enough they will ignite and burn away to just CO2 and leave by any impurity metals as dust
