Wax repels water/liquid, it doesn't absorb it, so the water forms droplets.


Why does wax solidify so fast?

It dries. The melting point for wax is higher than that of Ice, but still not very high. As molten wax's heat decreases it shifts states just like Ice shifts to water.


Why is the melting of wax a physical change?

Yes. A change of phase is a type of physical change.The heating of wax is an example of a physical state change. The wax melts from a solid to a liquid and then freezes back to a solid again. Keep in mind, however, that some of the wax is actually burning, and that portion is undergoing a chemical change.Because only its appearance changed, not what it isIf you plaster it back its original form,it'll harden and be the same...though i think it will be harder to melt .


Why does the melted wax of a candle harden when the flame is blown out?

When a candle is lit, a physical reaction is taking place. The wax melts with heat, just like a candy bar or cheese. Each reaction must have an equal and opposite reaction: if you must heat it to melt it, it will solidify if you take that heat away. It's just like if you melt a candy bar in the microwave and then leave it out on the counter to cool. Wax, like chocolate and many other substances, is a solid at room temperature.

Soy wax does melt quicker than beeswax, but are a better burning candle in glass containers. Beeswax takes longer to heat than soy wax. Since the soy wax is a softer wax it takes longer for Soy Wax to harden.
