No. Burning is generally something that occurs at an elevated temperature. Liquid nitrogen is a cryogenic material; it is terribly cold.

It is possible for liquid nitrogen to turn some metals as brittle as glass or a candy cane, making them easy to break. But it cannot burn metal, thermically nor chemically.

Metal shrinking liquid nitrogen?

Liquid nitrogen can be used to shrink metal parts by rapidly cooling them, causing them to contract. When the metal is immersed in liquid nitrogen, its temperature drops significantly, resulting in a contraction of the metal due to thermal contraction. This process can be useful in manufacturing and repairing metal components that need precise fitting or tight tolerances.

When metals burn what susbtances are formed?

Metals cannot 'burn'. Most likely, your 'burning' metal is enriched with other elements that burn. It can melt, it then just melts into liquid metal, then it is still metal.


Is liquid nitrogen flammable?

Nitrogen is nonflammable and does not support combustion. Thus in liquid form it is also nonflammable.


Is nitrogen a liquid?

Nitrogen is a gas at room temperature, but if brought to very low temperatures, it will condense into a liquid. Liquid nitrogen is fairly common and is used in several chemical processes, industries, and classroom demonstrations.


Does liquid nitrogen conduct electricity?

Yes, liquid nitrogen does not conduct electricity well because it is a non-metal and does not contain free-moving electrons that are necessary for conducting electricity.


Is amonium hydroxide a liquid metal?

Ammonium hydroxide is neither a metal nor a liquid. It is an compound consisting of the nonmetals nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen that only exists in small amounts in solutions of ammonia dissolved in water. The only liquid metal is mercury.


Why is liquid nitrogen used to fast freeze food instead of liquid oxygen?

There are two reasons. First, liquid nitrogen is colder than liquid oxygen and thus more effective at flash freezing. Second, liquid oxygen is a fire hazard; it creates an atmosphere of pure oxygen that allows substances to burn more easily. Nitrogen does not support combustion.
