    Diamond is the crystalline form of carbon. Chemically it is the same as graphite, the amorphous form of the carbon. When its heated to a high temperature it will not explode but simply burn into carbon dioxide.

    No diamonds do not explode on heating but in air they will be oxidized to CO2 but at a very high temperature.
