The physical changes in the candle is that the wax melts, then freezes back into solid state again, and the chemical changes are that the wick burns, soot, and smoke. water vapor and carbon dioxide are formed. and When the wax burns, and the wax combines with the oxygen to form CO2, carbon monoxide, carbon particles (incomplete burning/oxidation) and water. After it burns, you can't get the wax back.

∙ 11y agoa physical change, because it can easily be reversed. Physical changes, like freezing or melting an ice cube, are reversible, and don't make new substances. Chemical changes are not reversible, like burning wood, or making a cake, and always make one or more new substances. You could burn candle wax to create a liquid, but then freeze it again to turn it back into solid wax, so it's a physical change.

Is burning candle getting shorter physical or chemical change?
Burning a candle is a chemical change. It cannot be "unburnt"
Is burning a candle a chemical change or a physical change give reason?
It is both a physical and chemical change. The burning of the wick s chemical while the candle melting being physical.
What are the steps to prove that a burning of a candle is physical as well as a chemical change?
1. Melting of the candle is a physical change. 2. Burning and thermal decomposition are chemical changes.
Is candle burning physical change?
Physical change means change physically while chemical change means change chemically or change in chemical properties.Like if you would drop a chip of zinc in sulphuric acid it will its color will be changed which is no doubt a physical change.But,also its properties are changed as it will be transformed into zinc sulphate from simple zinc,thus it also undergoes a chemical change. Now,with your question,the candle breaks but the candle remains the candle,so,its not a chemical change but a physical change only.Hope it helps!
Is a candle burning a physical change?
It is actually both. The burning of the wick involves a chemical change. The physical change is the wax.
How is a burning candle both physical and chemical changes?
because of the digestions system of the candle is visible
What part of a burning candle takes place and physical change?

How does a burning candle show both of chemical and physical change?
because it can
