um.. not really, you're talking about nuclear fusion and 3 thousand degrees isn't NEARLY enought to cause that. and neither oxygen or nitrogen would not ignite, it would need some kind of fuel (e.g. hydrogen, gasoline, oil, etc). oxygen and nitrogen are not flammable in their natural state. the only reason a tank of oxygen or nitrogen would explode is because the gas is EXTREMELY dense and the pressure is IMMENSE and that the slightest puncture would release all that pressure which would create kinetic, then heat energy.
how do i know this? well, lightning is at a temperature far greater than magma and it does not ignite the gases in the atmosphere on fire.
