  2. Anything will burn, given enough heat.  Some stuff just burns at a lower temperature than others.

  3. most stable inert gasses are used by some welders because they do not burn. But even oxygen can be burned to ozone. Nitrogen burned to NOx, if hot enough. Study some chemistry. Have fun

  4. Yes many things don't burn. Burning is the process of rapidly combining with oxygen. Some are already burnt (oxidized), like water,carbon dioxide and rust. Others don't combine easily like gold, or any of the inert gasses.

    burning is a chemical reaction that results in substantial excess energy, since most chemical reactions do not produce excess heat, these do not "burn".

  9. Asbestos is a mineral that does not burn.  It is a material used for fire proofing from the late 19th century up to late 1970s.  However,  Since the mid 1980s, many uses of asbestos are banned in many countries, because it can cause a certain type of cancer.
