This is a physical change, not a chemical change! It is because all the wax is still all there as for if it was a chemical change it would be all gone!
Physical. Its physical state changed from solid to liquid. It's chemical make up remains the same.

Melting wax is a chemical change because a new substance is forming. Trust me im intelligent and we just learned this in science.


physical change :)
  • It is a chemical change because it gives off heat even when it is burning. heat is one of the signs that tell whether it is physical or chemical change. The signs are heat , light's ,gas,discolor.

Melting was would be a physical change-- no chemical reaction occurs when something melts or boils. A burning candle is a chemical change, both can occur at the same time.

It is a physical change, with a little chemical change due to action of the heat.

Physical change. No atomic interactions in melting wax which is only a change of state.
