Best Answer

Wax is a solid. Therefore a particle diagram of a candle, made of wax, would consist of rows of particles tightly packed together, with no spaces.

What is the energy flow diagram of a burning candle?

The wax in the candle contains chemical energy. When you burn the candle the chemical energy is transferred into heat (thermal) and light energy. :)


Where does the smoke from a candle originated from?

Mostly unburned carbon particles.


What statement describes the movement of the particles as the solid candle melts to a liquid?

The candle wax melted with the application of heat, as this happened the wax particles ceased to have restricted movement and began to move freely.


Why when a drop of wax from a burning candle falls on your hand do you feel heat?

Heat is transferred to your hand by conduction. The particles of the wax are moving faster than the particles in your skin and energy is transferred by collisions between the two sets of particles.


Can the heat of the sun melt a candle?

The high temperature of a candle involves relatively little mass and hence, relatively few very fast moving particles. A bowl of warm water has tremendously more warm, and hence moderately fast moving particles. The difference in the number of particles (or molecules) in this case outweighs the difference in the speed with which they are moving.

A candle can be illuminated usually when you light it... That's the whole point of a candle. A candle can be illuminated usually when you light it... That's the whole point of a candle.


When burning a candle where does the smoke originate?

The wax and the wick burn, but not completely, the unburnt part being mainly carbon n the form of very small particles. These are quite hot and glow white, yellow, and red, and are resonsible for the 'flame' and its colour. After the particles leave the immediate area of the flame they cool down and don't glow any more. They are now the smoke.
