Is it true or false that diamonds will last forever, and will diamonds really not be annihilated?

I still remember when I got married, my wife had to buy a diamond, and I, a science and engineering man, always wanted to explain to him that diamonds are essentially nothing more than our carbon through a special permutation and combination to form a transparent crystal. But people thought that this glittering thing was very beautiful, so they had to buy one, and in the end it cost me 10,000 or 20,000 yuan to buy a very small diamond. If he knew that this thing was actually the same element as coal, I don't know what he would think in his heart.

And the reason why he bought this at the beginning was because he believed the sentence in the advertisement, diamonds will last forever. <>

In fact, if you really understand the laws of the earth's operation, you will find that everything on the earth's surface cannot withstand the friction of time. Many people say that diamond is the hardest thing in the world, but in reality it is nothing more than a special crystal formed by carbon under high temperature and pressure. Why are diamonds so popular with humans?

In fact, it originated from the idea of a British businessman who had already formed a diamond monopoly in the 19th century. <>

First of all, we have to be sure that diamonds are indeed the hardest natural mineral known to date. But this does not mean that diamonds are a rare substance, and the world's largest diamond monopoly actually owns hundreds of tons of diamonds. But people just don't sell out, they just put out some very small diamonds.

And in the 80s of the last century, a very large diamond mine was discovered on the territory of the Soviet Union. The export of the number of diamonds it produces has seriously affected the balance of the market. At that time, diamonds had become a rotten street.

But unexpectedly, the diamond dealer immediately cooperated with this diamond mine to create small diamonds purchased by civilians. Since then, diamonds have formed a perfect metamorphosis, not only some rich people like to buy diamonds, but also ordinary people can also buy diamonds to symbolize their unswerving love. Diamonds may last a long time, but I know that higher temperatures will definitely wipe them out in an instant.

Not really. Any substance will undergo different chemical or physical reactions under certain conditions, but the reaction conditions of diamonds are very high and generally cannot be achieved. The ignition point of diamond: more than 800 degrees, melting point: 3815 degrees Celsius.

Diamonds are permanent at room temperatures, but they can also be annihilated at high temperatures because the element that makes them up is carbon.

There is some scientific basis for the idea that diamonds are forever. Diamonds are a substance that hardly reacts at room temperature. Therefore, the retention period of diamonds is also very, very long, and may even be retained forever.

Under certain conditions, diamonds can also disappear. The ignition point of the diamond in the air is 800 degrees, and when the diamond is heated to 800 degrees, it will slowly react with the air, and above 1000 degrees, it will turn into graphite. Lavoisier also discovered that diamonds were made of carbon by igniting them.
