True or false The candle wax has undergone a chemical change?

False because the wax would have gone through a physical change since it has only melted and turned into liquid but you can reverse the effect by cooling it so it becomes a solid again. (No new substance formed) When the string is burned by the fire, the change is irreversible. Also, when the string is burned, new substances are created like gases and ash making it a chemical change. Since no new substance forms when the candle wax melts, that's why it is a physical change, not a chemical change.
