Diamonds are the hardest known natural material (from Carbon) and with a melting point of over 3500`c it would be pretty much impossible to melt one down. Only another diamond can scratch a diamond but it wont melt it.

Diamonds can be altered by chemicals that can oxidize carbon, such as hot concentrated nitric acid or a mixture of potassium nitrate and sulfuric acid. However, these reactions can take a long time and are not typically used for practical purposes.

Yes. Diamond is about five times better than copper for conducting heat.

(This could be an expensive lab experiment.)

Does a real diamond melt through solid ice?

No more than any other substance would. It also depends on the temperature of the diamond, as is would for any object.


Why can you melt a diamond?

You can melt a diamond, because anything can melt given enough heat. Diamond, however, has the highest melting point of any known mineral: 3820 degrees Kelvin, 6416.33 degrees Fahrenheit, or 3546.85 degrees Celsius.


Why diamond is very difficult to melts?

Diamond is difficult to melt because of its strong covalent bonds. These bonds are very strong, requiring a high amount of energy to break them and melt the diamond. Additionally, diamond has a very high melting point of about 3,500 degrees Celsius, further contributing to its difficulty in melting.


What temperature will a diamond melt?

Diamond mineral has the highest melting point of any mineral: 3820 degrees Kelvin, which is 6416.33 degrees F, or 3546.85 degrees C.


What does it takes to turn a diamond gooey?

Can you melt a diamond and mix it with calcite?

No, diamonds cannot be melted at standard atmospheric pressure and temperature. Diamond will transform into graphite under high temperature and pressure before it can be melted. Mixing it with calcite is not feasible due to the extreme conditions required for melting diamond.
