It's not chemical if that's what you mean.
It is a physical change because when it melts it is still a candle just a melted one
Melting is the physical change.
This is because a candle will change its whole form and stay that way, which is a physical outer change. And a candle wick only burns, it doesn't change it's appearance.
The melting of a candle is a physical change. It involves a change in state from solid to liquid due to the absorption of heat energy, without any change in the chemical composition of the candle wax.
A burning candle involves both physical and chemical changes. The physical change is the melting of the wax, while the chemical change is the wax combining with oxygen in the air to produce heat, light, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.
It is a chemical change.
The wax of the candle melts and then rehardens. This is a physical change and reversible
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!
When the wax melts
It is actually both. The burning of the wick involves a chemical change. The physical change is the wax.
The melting candle wax dripping down the side of the candle is an example of a physical change. This occurs when the solid wax is heated and transitions into a liquid state due to the heat from the flame.
The hardening of candle wax is a physical change. This is because the wax simply changes from a liquid to a solid state without any change in its chemical composition.
