This question has been in my mind from so long.....

Almost All matters melt at a specific temperature.....


but

Why don't Wood melt??

(need full explanation)


and Happy New Year In advance!​

Answer 1

It is true that all matter melts and boils at its respective specific temperatures...

They also condense and freeze at specific temperatures...

But such sort of intrinsic physical properties are applicable only to those matter, which are Homogeneous...

Matter shows the properties of homogeneity only when it is either an element or a compound...

Any mixture is heterogeneous in nature, and a mixture does not have a specific melting or boiling point...

Wood is one among the set of all the complex organic heterogeneous mixtures in this world...

Also, another important point to be noticed is that the ignition temperature of a substance has to be lower than its melting point, in order for the substance to melt into the phase of its liquid state... This is not so in case of wood, for which it is considered as a solid fuel...

Thus, there is no question of the melting of wood at a specific temperature...

Answer 2

$\huge{\boxed{\mathfrak\pink{\fcolorbox{red}{lawngreen}{Hello\:Dear!}}}}$

Composed primarily of cellulose, lignin, water, and several other materials, wood contains long-chain organic molecules that decompose into products such as charcoal, water, methanol, and carbon dioxide upon heating. ... As a result of the chemical, irreversible breakdown of its components, wood does not melt.
