Is it a physical change when a candle changes size by burning?
Yes, because the candle wax isn't actually burning, just melting
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!
What part of a burning candle takes place and physical change?
The melting of the wax is a physical change. The burning the of wick is the chemical change

Is candle wax burning a physical change?
For the wax, yes. It changes to a liquid and then back to a solid. But some of the wax is also consumed in a chemical change as it oxidizes, along with the burning wick.
Is candle wax a physical property?

What is the physical and chemical change that occurs when a birthday candle is lit on a cake?
There are multiple physical changes and chemical changes that occur when a candle burns. One physical change is that the candle melts back into liquid wax. One chemical change is flame burning on the wick.
What is the difference between melting of candle wax and burning of candle?
Burning a candle is the process in which the wick is burnt. The wax is there to make the wick burn slower in order to let the candle burn for longer. Melting wax is part of the process but not burning the candle itself.
