when a candle is lighted ; this is what happens : the solid wax melts and rises up the wick. The wax vapours react with oxygen to burn as a flame. The candle starts melting. This is a physical change. while observing the candle flame we see that the candle has 3 zones. Non - Luminous zone is the innermost zone. It appears as a dark zone and is the coldest part of the candle flame due to less oxygen. Then comes the Luminous zone , it is yellow and opaque. The glowing of carbon particles cause the flame to look yellow and emit light. Then , Invisible zone - it is the outermost zone of the candle flame. it is the hottest zone and cannot be seen with naked eye. Combustion reaction comes to completion here and carbon changes into

carbon dioxide.

The wax is what melts on a candle. After the traditional candle string burns, the melted wax stays melted due to heat. The flameless candle takes advantage of the melted wax and releases a fragrance that is infused in the wax. Take a look at https://smellamelt.scentsy.us/Scentsy
