if given enough heat will diamond melt into liquid like glass why or why not ?
In: 1211
A diamond is almost purely carbon.
Heating it sufficiently in an oxygen rich atmosphere it will simply burn. If you take away the oxygen and anything else carbon could react with you can create a liquid.
More precisely you need a temperature of at least 4600 K and a pressure of 11 MPa. For reference what you‘re experiencing rn is probably around 295 K and 100 KPa
