While during the time it melts, wax is very viscous and 'sloppy'. After melting, it is just as fluid as most liquids are.
Melting candle wax is a chemical change. Why? Because when you cook or burn candle wax it melts so it is a chemical change.
For the wax, yes. It changes to a liquid and then back to a solid. But some of the wax is also consumed in a chemical change as it oxidizes, along with the burning wick.
The solid wax of the candle melts, and eventually vapourises, then burns and becomes a gas.
Wax melts at 300 degrees F
the wick Burns but it produces heat that melts the wax

The wax melts
The wax melts, it can solidify into a solid again.
The solid wax of the candle melts, and eventually vapourises, then burns and becomes a gas.
Some wax burns, and as it does so, chemical changes occurs. Wax converts to CO2, CO, and H2O. That is an exothermic reaction The rest of the wax melts with the increased temperature. That is the physical change.
As a candle burns, the candle becomes smaller as the wax melts.
The wax of the candle melts and then rehardens. This is a physical change and reversible
For the wax, yes. It changes to a liquid and then back to a solid. But some of the wax is also consumed in a chemical change as it oxidizes, along with the burning wick.
The wax melts and vaporizes, these changes are physical changes caused by te flame. They are a change in state only, and in these no new substance is formed. The chemical change is the combustion of the wax and the wick
